Deafening Silence

The silence is deafening
as it screams throughout my head.
Making me beg forgiveness
for all the things I have said.

I have been a total *****
and treated you unfair.
Wanting desperately to talk to you
but feeling such despair.

I've apologized so many times
now my words don't mean a thing.
Though there is still a tiny bit
of hope that I must surely cling.

You told me you don't hold grudges
I hope that is still true.
Because I value your friendship 
and miss the talking we would do.

I hope you can forgive me
this time I am sincere.
And I really care
I want to make that clear.

Until my plea is answered
your silence will scream.
My heart will never mend
at least for now it seems.

Well done Michelle.Great use of metaphors with great imagery.Excellent. You might just want to correct the spelling of despair and desperately. Love always, MEG.
