people don't break up from too much love,
but from too little,
or simply,
was not meant to be.

Where no one would want to be
I am not alone.
Among others like me
sharing a deep secret
believing that no one can know,
but
they clearly see.

we recognize a pitched laugh,
a too small smile,
or doomed words like
how is she now?
and all the answers we can provide
we can verbalize only one:
we want a medicine for
our silent screams.
