Hush, hush! Did you hear?
The call of a voice, or was it a whine?
Timid & weak, as it seems.
It speaks of something concealed with fear.
The voice sobs & sighs.
As one on the verge to perish.
Why does it hurt so much to listen?
It's agony sheds these eyes.
It's screams pierced through your heart.
"Ignored, rejected & denied.
Each day we are falling apart"
The voice said "I am the heart".
"At 10, we were the best of friends.
At 17, together, laughing & crying"
By 21, you became someone else.
Scared of the risk, now my opinion offends."
"From when you stopped playing the rhymes,
To living & believing the world's lies.
Our co-incided terms, you often defy.
My dear, I died a thousand times."
