Silence is golden
but
Conversation is key

Silent Screams

The silent screams
are the most painful of all

Nowhere to go
Nothing that can be said

I cannot make a sound
all is turned inward

Scream, my soul does
Silence, my lips say

My body consumed
in unspoken conflict

Limp, desiring not to be seen
Rigid, longing for escape, freedom

Languid eyes, slowly search
seeking some solace within sight

Nothing, there is, that can ease
this long and loathsome day

Weak

This IS me caring
If only I was strong before
I am weak
I am silent
I write
I weep

August

Sometime in August
I decided I loved you
I haven't spoken it
It is my guarded secret
This is its first escape
From the confines within

Enjoy the Silence

Adorable and fascinating.
Now you know.
Knowledge can be dangerous.
We must be cautious.
Are you reading this?
I know now.
And we know what knowledge can be.
Knowledge revealed in the silence
(with no violence) via chat.

Selfish in my Silence

It hurts me so badly inside
To think what I've done
What I've done to both of us
I've cost you so much
Led you so far
Lied in my silence
Lied in my actions
Lied in my expressions
I am so selfish
I should have just told you to leave

Solitaire

Solitaire.
- A fun game played by many.
Solitaire.
- A game played when no one is around.
Solitaire.
- A silent game to play when silently declaring you wish to be left alone.

Silence

Silence.
A beautiful, golden thing.
Silence.
An awkward ...pause.
Silence.
A tension straining to make a room implode.

Awkward Silence

What's it mean to 'feel' the tension in a room?
How can it be sensed?
You know it's there
is it a personal thing?
Does everyone have to feel equally awkward?
Or is it something that can actually be sensed by all?
