Silence

I feel like I’m drowning in your eyes
I blink back my tears with each word I tell you
I choke back my scream with every breath I take
You were my God; I was your stepping stone
You were my reason to live; I was your reason to go
I only saw your best; you only saw my flaws
I gave you my heart and soul
I gave you my very life
Yet all you give me is your deadly silence.
