Silent walls

Story

02.01

You lost someone that truly loved you.

I promised you.

But tell me,

did you ever love me?

15.01 

I’ll never forget that one night.

That one night, I laid in my mothers thought hold, so tight.

Cause I felt down on the bathroom floor.

Screaming your name till I couldn’t no more.

I asked her why things like these always happen to me.

Why me? I asked here with tears in my eyes,

was I worth this little to break me with lies?            

I’ll ever forget that one night,

where she blew soft wind across my face,

while I lost my breath.

I cried out my lungs, my heart torn in two.

I’ll never forget how dark the room was, the light so dim.

And she asked me

Nova, why do you still love him?

 I spoke

He’s not bad mum! he’s just…lost

I’ll never forget that face my mother made.

I’ll never forget that silence that night.

I’ll never forget that one night,

when you didn’t just break my heart.
