Like a drug I was drawn to him,
When you said it was the last time
I thought you were joking
Each goodbye meant see you
Daily I wait for you to come home
At our favorite spot I wait
Your silence hurts.
When you said together for eternity
Did you take me for a fool
I’ve grown fond of our memories
I repeatedly question myself
What happened to open communication?
Did it become a new vocabulary
Still, it doesn’t make sense.
I have endless questions to ask
You left me in limbo
Bearing your seed was not easy
Your silence wrecks every nerve in me
Most times I fall into confusion
The numerous times I do so
I realize nothing is permanent.
You’re simply unguaranteed
Your sacred feelings probably expired
I wish l knew the expiry date in advance
That would have saved me this heartache
Your son is dying to know you
I’ve tried covering that gap to no avail
I’m at peace with the silent treatment
If not for me then for your son.
