A message to my poem

Is this fair?
You leave me with the pale whiteness of my paper
like an orphan stretching out his hand in the void
waiting for a moment of kindness,
Is this fair?
I open the door of my broken heart to celebrate the pride of your words
And you, in vain, give me an indifferent look
Pure silence, around me now
Where did you get your hardness?
I'm like the whisper of a silk glove.  
I fall asleep on a velvet sheet waiting for you
I'm not a word hunter
to make traps for you.
No dice player
to collect the glow of your body from a lost throw.
I am a poet,
I am born from a wing of a word
and drowning deeply in the emptiness of the paper.
Nothing can be more cruel than your absence now.
