You Won’t

.
you don’t talk to me because you think you can’t 

you don’t talk to me when you say you’re paralyzed  

you don’t talk to me when you say you feel confused

you don’t talk to me because you know i’ve nothing left to lose

you don’t talk to me because it’s easier than not

you don’t talk to me for fear of getting caught

you don’t talk to me because you don’t have the time

you don’t talk to me for fear of getting grime

you don’t talk to me even with me near

you don’t talk to me on stage acting out of fear

you don’t talk to me unless we’re far apart

you don’t talk to me in starving my anemic heart

you don’t talk to me because i once helped you be not sad

you don’t talk to me knowing you’re the only love i’ve had

you don’t talk to me because you say that you can’t 

you don’t talk to me when you palpitate in pant

you don’t talk to me because you know there’s no need 

you don’t talk to me in finding nothing left to bleed

you don’t talk to me when you don’t know what to say

you don’t talk to me when you wish I’ll go away

you don’t talk to me because of the things i have said

you don’t talk to me when you remember we were once to be wed

you don’t talk to me out of fear from what i will do 

you don’t talk to me afraid you’ll let on that we’re through

you don’t talk to me because you know won’t by choose to

you don’t talk to me when you choose silence as your voice

you don’t talk to me today

you won’t talk to me tonight

you don’t need me every day

you don’t talk to me in fright

you won’t talk to me tomorrow 

you don’t recall i found you in sorrow

you don’t talk to me about weekends

you only talk to your new friends

you don’t talk to tell me how this ends

you don’t talk to me during the holidays

you don’t talk to speak in your zantac haze

you don’t talk to me when we don’t speak 

you don’t talk to me repulsed at how i reek 

you don’t talk to me wishing that i knew

you don’t talk to me hoping i’ll get a clue

you believe me unable to help each time 

you don’t talk to me about your self

you don’t want me making things worse  

you don’t talk to those you curse

you don’t talk to me knowing i don’t do as i should

you don’t talk to me because you’ve told everyone i’m no good

you don’t talk to me to feel better

when you don’t talk to me
