You get ideas from daydreaming. You get ideas from being bored. You get ideas all the time. The only difference between writers and other people is we notice when we're doing it. ~Neil Gaiman

When I said goodnight
And you remained silent
I knew you could still hear me
When you closed your door
And left me alone
I knew you could still see me
But I wondered if you still wanted to
And I knew then that you didn’t love me as much as before
I don’t know what I did to deserve it
I haven’t given you trouble
I just stay locked inside myself
But I guess that’s not enough
And now I guess the only kind of treatment I need
Is the silent kind
