Said Your Piece

You said your piece with silence

But even in the quiet

You refused to listen

And now the words are festering inside me

I keep choking on the bile

Every time I think I’m over it

A little piece of poison

Finds its way back into my heaf

So much left I feel the need to say

But of course you’ll never hear a peep

Punished for my caring

I wish that I could return in kind

But you never really seem to feel

Uncaring and unthinking

Hiding behind silent walls

Unmoved by my meaning

So I still suffer through
