Endless Silence (Poem)
ENDLESS
SILENCE
It’s
quiet. Too quiet. I can hear my own heartbeat.
I’m
sitting here with you, though, waiting on you to speak.
A
kiss on the cheek…no response. Massaging your feet…you’re yelling stop.
What
did I fail to cover as we sit in udder silence…
Then
I realize what’s going on…
Can
you hear a tree fall in the woods of the Amazon when you’re in Arizona?
No,
but you know it happens…
Can
you hear my heart beat with such distance between us?
No,
but you know it’s beating…
Yet,
why does my voice fall on deaf ears?
Is
it another that’s gathered your interest?
Has
another taken your heart as I sit thinking of ways to provide for us?
All
I ever wanted was to make you happy, give you the life that you desire…
Little
did I know, you’ve already had someone else setting your soul on fire…
What
made me unloveable?
What
made me undesirable?
I
see now…I don’t hold a place in your heart that coincides with the beating..
The
tears may fall and the noise would accompany it…but that’s something you refuse
to hear
But
the pain is in my heart, may be even penetrating my soul…
Trust
me, it’s very real, but you can’t hear that either…
