When words don’t count

June 13, 2010

Silence.
When words fail you
Or you know
They will cause more
Harm
Than good.

Silence.
When you’re
Hurt or
Angry
Or just want to
Get back at
Someone.

Silence.
When you want
To ruminate;
When you’re
Disappointed;
Or when you’re
Overwhelmed
With joy.

Silence.
When you have
So much to
Say
That you don’t know
Where to start
Or when there is
Nothing
Left to say
Anymore

Silence.
In grief;
In pain;
In solitude;
In poverty;
In a luxurious
Bubble bath.

Silence.
When a deal
Goes sour;
Or when the sunset
Is so breathtaking
It makes you
Speechless.

Silence.
The one thing
You crave for
And yet want to
Run away from.

Silence.
The beginning
Of relationships
And sometimes
The end.

    Loved it! Silence - It’s comforting at times; its terrifying at times. I’m starting to love it more and more though :)
