Silence
Say something
Anything
I can’t stand the silence
Anymore
It’s eating away at me
I sit
I wait
I hope
But all that greets me
Day after day
Is silence
More of the same
Nothing changes
Unavailable
Just out of reach
Out of sight
Out of sound
Out of range
But not out of mind
The silence
Continues
Tears at me
Builds
To a crescendo
It’s all I hear
There’s no music
Just silence
With occasional flashes
Of light
That penetrate
My bubble
My world
Like a smile of joy
At a memory
But mostly wistful
It’s over
The silence
Yells
But I ignore it
Wait
Patiently
Impatiently
For the silence
To be
Broken
Ignore
The little voice
Inside
That tells me
The wait
Is in vain
Because
One sound
Still resonates
Loud and clear
Hope
Those last words:
I’ll
Talk
To
You
Later
So
I’ve waited
Long enough
It’s time
For you to
To come out
From hiding
And
Say something
Anything
I can’t stand the silence
Anymore
It’s eating away at me
Anything
I can’t stand the silence
Anymore
It’s eating away at me
I sit
I wait
I hope
But all that greets me
Day after day
Is silence
More of the same
Nothing changes
Unavailable
Just out of reach
Out of sight
Out of sound
Out of range
But not out of mind
The silence
Continues
Tears at me
Builds
To a crescendo
It’s all I hear
There’s no music
Just silence
With occasional flashes
Of light
That penetrate
My bubble
My world
Like a smile of joy
At a memory
But mostly wistful
It’s over
The silence
Yells
But I ignore it
Wait
Patiently
Impatiently
For the silence
To be
Broken
Ignore
The little voice
Inside
That tells me
The wait
Is in vain
Because
One sound
Still resonates
Loud and clear

Oy...you've been having a hard time lately, haven't you? (((hugs)))
It's so hard when there's just that little shred of hope, whispering in your ear, "Maybe s/he'll call..." It keeps you from moving on and making your own happiness.
Yup yup. Thanks for the hugs. They are really appreciated. There is still a shred of hope, a very small shred. So even as I try to move on some days it taunts me. More to follow.
If this is a guy, dont beat yourself up about it. Youll be fine. The sound of silence is a great song.
Hope you feel better, very powerful poem, I liked it alot.
CD- Thanks for the vote of confidence.
SFM- Thanks. Me too ;-)
I could feel the tension...the unbearable sound of silence where there should be noise...
Stay strong..
:-)
if a tree does not fall in a forest and no ones around....is there silence?
hmmm
And the silence from you continues. No words about Bobby Abreu?
