Deafening

 

The deafening silence

has teeth.

It eats away

at your heart.

You can never 

find the words

because your words 

mean nothing

to stone deaf ears, 

they have already

decide your fate 

and sentenced

you to hell 

for years.

 

No amount 

of words

will break through

walls built 

to deflect truth.

So, you bite your tongue,

and let the blame wash over you.

letting it sink deep 

into every pore,

until you could swear

that their truth is the only

one worth listening to anymore.

 

They could argue

with an empty room,

but turn the blame around on you.

Not listening to any words

you try to exhale

in between

verbal blizzards of ice-cold fury.

So, silence is all you are left.

and that is met 

with a string of lies,

tied into a rope 

to hang onto,

but all you can do

is put your head through

and say no more, I tried.

 

The silence deadening

It makes everything inside

feel like it's withering. 

Stinging, aching,

a host of pestering infestations,

nesting in

this rotten festering corpse

of whittled down love,

or what you thought of as love,

but was nothing of the sort.
