You Are So Quiet Tonight Poem by Stella Sisanda Qishi

you are so quiet tonight. i wonder
whether it'd be smart or folly
to call you comely
but your silence is louder
than the spoken word.
what more words could i collaborate
to elaborate
my apology? can't you see this dagger is as sharp as a razor blade?

i saw your tears as you turned to look outside the casement
i would've been pleasant if those were
tears of joy but your anger torments,
you keep it all inside.
you have my thoughts racing in rotary tracks
and the deformity of my heart keeps coming back

like the unhealth plume
of the factory smoke, your silence
chokes me almost to doom
is it what i said and should'nt have?
or perhaps what i should've done and did'nt do?
either way, your silence and your weeping vacant my heart, yes they do.
