Silence is more wounding than any word to
a girl with expectations...
When he said that he would "Call her soon",
She thought that meant she would get a phone call
but none ever came
After she applied to the A list college
A written answer is what she expected,
but she received nothing at all
She went to two interviews for the job she wanted
came with a precise resume and expressed sincere interest
dressed in her best black pantsuit
When she never heard back she called asking for an explanation
then was told that only the Good candidates were contacted
She, obviously, was not one of them
Four days later she went back there to deliver a message of her own
The Five o'clock news covered it all
in great detail
title and italics from go ahead I'll listen
