Why couldn't I ask?
Tried to find a reason
that I could not name.
Did not know the question
I was trying to ask.

Did not know I was asking
till I felt like crying.
Did not know why I wanted to cry
so much that it hurt.

Could not cry
for fear
that tears might
reveal the truth.

Could not stop asking
till it was too late
and silence descended
upon me.
