Silent Hint

Lorna Dwyer July 2007

---

I think I finally get it,

The hint you’ve been giving

The silent hint that went unnoticed.

How stupid am I!

To think that you would

Go on caring.

Now you’re free of me.

Everything is going your way.

I wouldn’t talk to me either.

You don’t have to stay,

Now I can see.

It’s my fault

I kept talking

I kept calling

I kept caring

Long after

You walked out the door.
