I heard the click, then the silence,
From deep down inside of me,
I was angry at myself,
I never meant to hurt you,
I was afraid you would leave me,
-Erin R. Knapp-
You were no longer there.
The silence screamed at me,
I didn’t know how much I cared.
My heart tore.
I sobbed into my pillow,
On my knees, on my floor.
For letting you go.
I was angry at myself,
For not telling you so.
So I kept it inside.
The truth was there,
I adored you and I lied.
And I was right.
I remember your words, the click,
And the silence of that night.
