“Silence”

Hello  Silence,


my best friend,

my nemesis…

dearest, “Silence”.

How did I follow your lead

to my good and to my harm?

Thinking you gave me a upper hand,

keeping “peace” and “sanity” in a loud land.


silence


Silence!

My confidant,

and my foe,

surrounded on every side

I thought you kept me safe but you lied.


silence


Your lack of response comforts my need to,

your emptiness gracing my fullness of chaos and noise,

your presence embracing my broken thoughts trying to form words,

your deafening quietness breaking my heart’s desires to be heard,

Yet-

still I fear to break you…

Can I love and hate you too?


silence 


Here I was…

keeping you as a guard on top of my wall,

to protect the poor sensitive thing of a heart within…

Thinking you had the strength to cover my weakness, 

but really you’ve been stealing it all.

Or….did I let you win?


silence


Until next time,

Bye— Silence.
