 The Reason I Was Asking The times I wrote to you I had waited for your reply Being ignored obviously I had often wondered why The reason I was asking If I had crossed your mind Having nothing to go by Answers were hard to find Silence tells me nothing I hoped you would explain Can you answer me this Will I hear from you again Silence is never the way A friend is supposed to be Thats why I wrote to say You mean so much to me Hope ©2009 |

Dear Hope, no matter how much time passes, this kind of silence will always hurt when you put your mind on it. You write intensely of your pain. Hopefully there will be answers ... Love, Margherita  |

Oh, my dear sweet Hope ~ "Silence is never the way A friend is supposed to be" ~ No, it most assuredly is not. If this plaintif plea is based on a personal experience, then I would say that your 'friend' doesn't appreciate how fortunate they are to have someone like you, caring for them. Sending my love and a warm hug, Linda  |

This is very smoothly done. I like the form, and the emotion you generate. I think it speaks to everyone, because we've all been ignored at one point or another. And it always hurts. Nan (Pilgrim variety) |

I, too, liked this line: "Silence is never the way A friend is supposed to be" ...makes you stop & think...a good thing... |

Silence tells me nothing I hoped you would explain Can you answer me this Will I hear from you again You've written the pain of such wondering very well... beautiful work! |
