this silent storm

Give Me Space

I’m tired of the questions
don’t ask me
what’s wrong
don’t ask me
To talk…
don’t tell me
you care…
don’t tell me
you love me…

I’m quiet for a reason-
the burden that I have
I do not wish to share
I hear you say you care
but this weight is more
than I care to talk about

the words might come out
wrong…
I might come across
too strong…

so if you truly understand
you’ll just back up
and give…
me…
space…

that is how
you can show
and I will know
that you really love me
