Analysis of When Silence Gets Reticent
together they spent hours
silently immersed in books
each of the two hooked
to a different certainty
after that emotions would burst
and urgently had to be vented
till one day things really ended
in it's enough and over
their flow of soul got repressed
by circling the issues and none
of the two even felt urged
to say their talk wasn't working
the quiescence of arguments
also muted well meant questioning
about the other's thoughts and acts
avoiding one another since then
they shared their days in desolation
