Silence Poem by Thabitha Marakalala

Silence destroys

I can tell we falling apart
The love we used to share now depart
We hurt more than we love
Cry more than we laugh
Should we blame it on the distance between us
Is it the fading trust amongst us

I can tell our once bonded hearts part
And this pain has somehow become my art
On blank papers my feelings I impart
Prided up my voice I silence
Constrain myself to becoming a tyrant
Instead of talking our hearts
We both decide to play the waiting game
Not realising we are constructing our down fall
In silence we lost it all

With my shoulders held high I try to ignore the pain
When my heart is bleeding to the core
To losing you my soul silently deplore
What have we done to us?
Without words being said there will be no restoring
Our distance has no effect on our love
The silence between us is our break down

Since we not talking
Now thoughts invade my mind
Some how they are not kind
I would think that you cheating
I would think of leaving
Just splint
And cover my footprint
Maybe that's what's on your mind too

Though we won't admit it
If what we had was real
We won't let it all fade off with the wind
Distance is not the case
Our silence crashed down our tower of love
Distance doesn't destroy any relationship
Silence does
