It Hurts

It hurts when you're invisible to your loved ones.

Said the words that are held most precious
No utternce in return
Nothing but absolute silence

In the silence
tears slide unbidden and unwelcomed down my cheek
my body is racked with silent sobs
my back is to you to hide how much pain you inflicted upon me

You didn't have to say it back
just acknowledge that you heard me
that what I say is of some importance to you

But no nothing
That is what hurts the most
