One by one they came,

“Welcome,” said me.

Without making eye contact,

They looked around.

They went through my belongings,

As I laid out my treasures.

Closed were their ears to the cries I stifled, 

Or the murmurs I made.

A spike in interest, I felt

But that was just me being hopeful!

No one hung back,

To share their feedback.

Words are too precious to part with,

Should’ve realized that sooner.

As they left without a hum

Sighed me, to find them mum.
