A Response Worth Waiting For

Though I scream out your name You won't come back to me ... It doesn't even have to be to me.. I just wanna know your safe. Hundreds of tears shed in your absence Each different tear shed by a different person. A circle of tears. We stand here Singing Chanting with al our might! Four powerful words Powerful words that seem useless... "Come Back To Me!" You can hear you Aunt screaming! Screaming turns to pleading But you never even heard us... You drowned out our pleas using your own screaming! Screamsof resentment... Like we never did anything to help you... Like we were never here.. Do I mean nothing? That feeling... that feeling I had When you tore me from the grasp of any of my demons With but a single kiss! Did that mean nothing, too!? Were those three words you swore to me a lie? Was I your demon? Did I do anything good for you at all? I guess not... If you're running away! Where'd you go?! That's all I want to know Because , maybe, if I find you, I can kiss you and tell you " I love you".... And wait for your response....
