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
