Silence

Your silence killed me Not at all fast, Very much so painful It seems my soul left me Piece by piece With every word that escaped my mouth, All I wanted was for you to speak your soul into me, But all I got was silence. Not the peaceful quiet kind But the kind that screams inside your mind The silence that makes it difficult to hear anything else The whispers of the night flowing through my mind so easily, Like a warm knife through butter. But your silence it stayed Haunting me, Hurting me, Heaping amounts of nothing, Flying through my mind taking every thought and abusing it Until the only way to end the silence was to scream The screams were loud, They were painful, And long. Yet your silence kept slicing through Until I couldn’t take it anymore, Your silence led to the last loud noise I could make Bang And it was all silent.
