Dead Silence

I'm tired of trying
To communicate.
It feels like there are brick walls
In your place.

Trying to break through
So you can hear
How desperate I am
For you to care.

There's no echo, there's no sound
There's only emptiness all around.
You don't look, you can't see
How so untouchable you are to me.

I scream in hope of getting through
I try until my face turns blue
But nothing makes you turn around,
You just can't seem to understand.

I'm tired of trying to find a way
To help you see I've got something to say,
Maybe I'll leave it for another day,
Today we'll go our separate ways

In dead silence.
