silent protest

april.2.2001

I am begging you to stay,
But it stays within my heart.
I can never speak,
But it hurts when we're apart.

How I long for you,
But I'm trapped inside my mind.
I can't escape these fears,
But I can't leave you behind.

When you walk away,
A part of me screams out.
But you will never know,
I'm filled with too much doubt.
