Destructive Silence

Destructive Silence
Silence,
Your power
Your way to manipulate
And control
… … … ….
… … … ….
You believe silence
Will secure you a place
Somewhere higher than ours
And I believe it will kill our souls
And destroy us
From the inside
Out.
You were taught from young
To be seen and not heard,
Yet, you do not see,
That you need to move
From child to adult
You need to step up
Speak out
Say something
not: … … … …
… … …
Nothing.
The silence from your being
Is suffocating us
Like a noose closing
Tighter and tighter … …
… …
… …
PLEASE
speak
to
us
Please …
… …
… …
You need to:
Act in Love
Break fear's hold
Speak to us
Break the silence
Set us:
Free …
… …
…
No, you choose silence.
As the quiet between us
Screams in pain,
Echoing
Fear and weakness
… …
…
Ok,
You win,
I can’t carry the weight of your silence anymore
I’ve done all I can
Given all I have
Now, it is
Your turn
To give
Something
Anything…
…
No answer speaks your truth …

I like the way you move
I like the way you move through this in what is of necessity, a single sided conversation. So much feeling in it. Sounds like words that needed to be said.
