The Unspeakable Truth

You’ll give me silent treatment if I say this…

By Katya DuftPublished about a year ago • 1 min read

Why can’t I cry if I am sad?

You deal with it; you are my friend

Why should I leave some things unsaid

Because you’re easy to offend?

We don’t agree on certain themes

I’m not obliged to change my mind

You laugh at my ambitious dreams

While I just need you to be kind

Sometimes I want to walk away

But we’ve been friends for way too long

I hope you maybe change one day

Or my delusions might be strong
