I call,
no answer.
I look,
you don't look back.
I try,
you deny.
I cry,
you smile,
Behind me.

Comments
-
this is one of those poems that is perfection by simplicity. It states, effortlesly, everything that so many try to put into more words. Great write.
-
I like it. I think you did a great job.

this was a good write.

Good imagery of the search for this, yet the resulting confusion when silence is your reward brings about such pain and suffering that only more tears accompany you. Nicely imaged and with deep feeling. Thanks for entering into the contest.
Be well and be blessed,
Mouser
