I Talked to You Today

A Poem

I talked to you today.

Oh what I would give to hear back

"hey."

I talked to you today.

Even though I knew

you wouldn't talk back anyway.

I talked to you today.

Just like I do

everyday.

I talked to you today.

And the tears that followed

did not delay.

I talked to you today.

Remember in our younger days when

we'd stay outside and play?

I talked to you today.

If you could talk back,

"Do you know how much we're hurting?"

Is what I would say.
