Silence

A poetry I made because I felt I was inspired by the silence between people that can be destructive if not processed.


An eminent silence was between us

Made an abyss, a ravine that we couldn't cross

I felt my throat was laced and you yours

We didn't grasp the opportunity

Our beautiful oasis gave ominous signs

Signs that just were born out of the blue

I couldn't put a finger on it but

It seemed our time together wasn't perfect after all

We didn't say anything

We were silent, out of words

Our waters were spilling out of the edges

I didn't want this to happen or you either

We fought without words to keep ourselves together

But the waters were keeping spilling out

I wanted to say something but emptiness took me

You sat there fiddling with nothingness

Helplessness had become our common friend

The trees began to wither

The flowers died

The colors of life faded

Now the Earth was shaking in tremendous force

You were stumbling

I was falling into the ravine

We didn't say goodbye but knew it

I gave up and lost my pride

You were left up there where a desert had emerged

I should have said something and you too

But it was too late

Now we seemed to be like oil and water

Unable to be together anymore

I was down there and you were up there

No matter where you and I were it was destroyed

Silence had won yet again
