The quiet cruelty of indifference

The quiet cruelty of indifference

You say you love me.

You just need time.

Your indifference paints an uglier portrait.

Something busted

a deceptive mess.

Do you want me?

No.

Your silence howls

'I DON’T WANT YOU BACK’.

And I would have settled for a whisper.
