Icarus

Icarus

I'll take your silence as refusal

To my favorite person

I don’t know
if you  read these things
But if you do
I’ll take your silence
as a
refusal
 
I won’t go there anymore
The place is now yours
If I am wrong just respond
And tell me so

(2014)

Just know that you have been lied to. By other than me.
