Silence

burningRain127 April 7th, 2023

Distance is lovely, the silence is comfortable

couldn’t say “help me” so instead said nothing at all

I needed you beside me, but I couldn’t tell you

would have explained why, but I hadn’t a clue


The silence is thick, the quietness heavy

I wanted to speak, but my fear didn’t let me

tried to be strong, but I was too weak

I let the silence win; and I didn’t speak


Not that I dislike, or even distrust you

its only that care is an experience that’s new

the silence has been my home for so long

that I’m sometimes convincing speaking up would be wrong


the silence is thick, quietness oppressive

the dark, though familiar, is oh so depressive

someday I hope I can make the choice

to end the silence, and lift my voice.

silence...it acts as a natural filter to your thoughts. It gives you time to think about what you are feeling and what those feelings mean to you. silence is a terrible enemy, and a great friend to have...but remember that i will always listen, when something must be said...ily rainy..
