Silence
When a word was needed.
Loneliness
When I wanted you near.
Distance
When I longed for comforting.
Weakness
When strength was imperative.
Laughter
When I wanted to weep.
Arguments
When I craved peace.
Kindness
When I wanted passion.
Passion
but I yearned for affection.

My fault?
Your fault?
Useless to blame.
