Cant you tell?, by Madeline Marenic

Cant you tell?

To the oblivious ones.

I still love you!

Cant you tell?

I miss you.

Cant you tell?

I’m sorry.

Cant you tell?

I’m in pain.

Cant you tell?

I don’t want anyone else.

Cant you tell?

I’d do anything.

Cant you tell?

I just want to be in your life.

Cant you tell?

Your all I think about.

Cant you tell?

I’v been crying.

Cant you tell?

If you’re the only thing I think about

And you mean so much to me,

Then why cant you tell?

(2014)

We cry in silence Mainly so others won’t hear So no one will feel pity For those of us Who can’t hold back any longer

~FEATHERS~ Each and every hurtful word let in, is like one more feather plucked each and every time.

Silence The thing I have mastered Quite well, actually. Along with many other teens. We learn not to speak
