Silence Poem by Madeline Fazio

Not to sound trite
But there’s something I must get off my chest
Please do not put up a fight
To get to the point, I will try my best

Ok,

I am ready and willing
To give you my heart
I am ready to love you
With every and any part

What do you do with this new information?
What do you say when I admit my affection?

I dread your response does not ease my tension
I thought I could at least get a rejection

But the only thing that you can give to me is…

SILENCE
