Have I lost my voice?

I call out your name.

You say to be quiet,

But you’d never betray.

Right?

You argue for what you believe

As I listen with full attention.

I try to speak, but you won’t perceive

As I reason against contention.

Maybe I’m wrong.

Maybe you’re right.

But that doesn’t mean you should ignore my plight.

Guess that’s it.

Guess I’m done.

I can’t keep running from each little one.

You force words I never said

As I stare in disbelief.

I try to speak, but you turn your head

As I turn away in grief.

Have I lost my voice?

I love you, but I can’t understand.

You’ve changed through the years,

And I stand alone.

Right?
