don't look at me that way,

i can't take it anymore,

so many words you never say, and

they're banging at the door;

right now,

all you're doing is

clamoring around,

taking up my time, as

i'm left here on the ground; all

on my own... and it's so very loud; i

never knew silence could make such a sound.
