Because you will not talk with me

Because you will not talk with me
i have no serenity
am losing my identity
feel threats to my safety
cannot speak safely

i want to talk
need someone to talk to

but not about the weather
the political climate
nuclear reactors gone full-on disasters

No!  I need someone who can relate
to my emotions, suicidal tendencies

Wait, don't flee!

Because you will not talk with me
i try to suppress
so you will not stress

break off pieces of me
so you don't have to see
that i'm crying for help
and not just in my sleep

i suppress my emotions
so your comforts not broken
like my heart is...
because you will not talk with me

Tough conversations?
Avoid at all costs!
is my LIFE
too high a price?

Because you will not talk with me
i feel lonely at home
i feel hollow inside
emotions HIDE yet seep through
threatening my life

but I don't share my strife
even simple frustrations
in calm parts of my life
are withheld to appease

i feel like i can't please you
no matter what i do
if i let emotions slip
that's it!

You move away physically
because you will not talk with me
until i regain control
masking emotions
with polite conversations

of global warming
and corrupt corporations.
