Don't. Please.

"..don't speak,
don't tell me,
because it hurts.."

Dear lonely isle,

I don't want to know.
I don't want to hear.
I don't want to care.
I feel it closing in from all sides.
There's no where to run.
I can't breathe.
I cannot be.

Just don't.
Don't tell me.
Don't speak.
Please.

Worry on your own time.
I have worries of my own.

I'm scared.
I'm really scared.

I just want to be alone.
I don't need to hear anything.
I don't want to hear anything.

There's only two words I want to hear.
But no one ever says it.

So just don't.
Don't speak.

It's not what I need to hear.

love, joyce.
