Your Brand of Silence
I see you have just come home oh that’s nice
I would ask you how your week end was but
We aren’t talking…
We are separate, on a different wave length, on two different levels
So excuse me when I have to leave the room
This silence is deafening….
I ask if we can talk, I wanted to apologize
Our eye don’t met for this arrangement
You make the effort as to not see me
I look right in your eye to see you
No words were exchanged that day
They didn’t need to be…..
But I almost wish they had been aired
Even now the fact we live in the same room
Is making it very hard to live
The look you threw at me was one of disgust
I twinge at such a look and
The grotesque contempt in your voice was
A dagger to my heart......
We use to talk about our days as students
You remind me of the reasons why I left my home in the first place
What has this come too my friend
You are still my friend, please give me another chance
I am an emotional person too just as you are
You may not think you are but I can read
Every feeling of angst on your face
We flinch at each other’s presence
Our poor middle can do nothing but drown in such atmosphere
If not for you and me than for her…….
