Silence Poem by Tsunami HiroshiSu

These words, they fill the silence
The silence in between
The silence that consumes us
The silence that is me

Silence is deep
Silence is heavy
It presses on me and it presses on you
It threatens to swallow us whole
Becuase of all the unsaid things
It swears to devour us
And it promises to become us

Speak to me
Speak against the silence binding your lips
I'm hear to listen
Listen to words
Not silence
Speak quick
Before the silence overwhelms us
