Unspoken Words
I thought it was physically impossible
to be stung by venom
through unspoken words
Experience, however, has taught me
silent words scream the loudest
Tormenting me with a quiet house
filled with thunderous thoughts
shaking me to the core of my being
as I await any type of communication
from you
Somehow in your twisted mind
you find this will bring us closer
I assure you,
being in a conversation with myself
only gives me confidence
that I can survive on my own
Transmitting empty messages
gives me reason to believe
I will have a lifetime of
living with your hushed hugs
and wishing for understanding
of your silent speech
