Passive Rejection

I won't say anything 

I won't make a peep

My lips are sealed 

And I won't make a sound 

I won't hurt your feelings 

You won't hear my no 

You won't feel the door hit you on your way out

Because I won't let you in

Silence is my choice

To give you my response 

Of no motion

Not even a wave to say perhaps, maybe later

Not a nod or a patronizing smile

I won't look your direction 

Or send you a wink
Or offer you a nudge

I leave you alone 

To figure it out

On your own 

Without my help

You don't need to pay attention

There is nothing to see

Nothing to witness at all

Just nothing

I won't feel bad for leaving you out 

You won't feel bad for getting the negative
You are hoping will be 

The exception, not the rule 

So, anyway, as I was saying earlier...
