Silence

by chiquita3946 - Libra

Your refusal to speak
Forces my mind into tunnels
Where the traffic mobs in a sole direction
Producing conflict between
The clashing ideas drawn.

Your addiction to the poetic word
Without explanation
Forces my thoughts to riot against my heart 
Proving opposing possibilities
Simultaneously true—to my innocent bereavement.

You delight in the contradiction
As which you exist
Tantalisingly dropping casual words
Only to later whisk them away,
Carving the soul from my corporeal being
And kicking my carcass
Into the fatal web you have unwittingly created—
In which I will dwell
Until my love for the memory I have created
Fades in the brightness of the bitter truth
Of the extinction of your affection.

Reason for writing:

    it's kind of obvious, but i actually wrote it in june, before it happened. scary. if you believe the worst will come, it may indeed.
