There were no screams

No raised voices

Only silence

I told you there were issues

Things we had to work out

You seemed to make an effort

But always reverted back

I had hoped you'd change

For me

No

For us

There were no screams

No raised voices

Only silence

No problems with me

Only everyone else

My friends

My family

You hated them all

Yet they tried so much

There were no screams

No raised voices

Only silence

I wanted you to be there

To share with you

Everything

The good and the bad

But for you

Only the good

Was good enough

There were no screams

No raised voices

Only silence

I never felt so unwanted

So unappreciated

So stupid

For the songs I gave

And the poems I made

You made them seem like

Nothing

There were no screams

No raised voices

Only silence

So here comes the end

Those painful words

"I'm breaking up with you"

You seemed so surprised

I tried and I tried

But my message for change

Never got by

There were no screams

No raised voices

Only silence

You blamed me for not talking

For not saying what's on my mind

When nothing was different

From start to end

To end like we started

I'll say it again

There were no screams

No raised voices

Only silence

The end
