Silence Poem by Lizelle 'Leasel' Martins

Silence

Rating: 5.0


I saw you last night
But you never said anything
We had a special way of greeting
That’s how I have known us, known you
I guess I thought that made us different

But lately the silence is just killing me
Yes I call it that
You only answer when asked something
Where does this silence come from

What is happening to me...to us
Am I holding on to something that’s long gone
Have I become that blind to what I want it to be

Do I need a few days...to find out
Do I still hold on
Why is this happening so soon
I prepared myself for this
My subconscious mind knew it all
But so soon...
Why this scene

What am I still doing here
Why am I doing this to myself

Naked honesty and soul-baring, yet the emotions you conveyed relate to the reader and expose our own frail humanity. Excellent! 10++++
