Say Something Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Have you ever gotten tired of hearing,
From those who say...
'I have good intentions.'
As if that statement is up for debate.

If anyone had good intentions,
Wouldn't you think,
Those intentions clearly...
Would be done and not mentioned?

It's like someone who has an expectation.
And the rising of excitement,
That teases with anticipation.
A frustration enters,
When disappointment arrives.
And here it is...
Excuses and lies!

Have you ever gotten tired of hearing,
From those who say...
'I have good intentions.'
As if that statement is up for debate.
And you are left sitting to wonder,
Between hesitation and comments to make.
But your lips remain sealed.
However...
Your eyes are not connected,
To an expected acceptance of your patience.

'You look as if you can kill me!
Say something.
I meant to call you.
You know that.
Say something.
Say 'something'...
Anything! '
