Unspoken words

by Chelsey   Apr 21, 2012


I thought it was physically impossible
to be stung by venom
through unspoken words
Experience, however, has taught me
silent words scream the loudest

Tormenting me with a quiet house
filled with thunderous thoughts
shaking me to the core of my being
as I await any type of communication
from you

Somehow in your twisted mind
you find this will bring us closer
I assure you,
being in a conversation with myself
only gives me confidence
that I can survive on my own

Transmitting empty messages
gives me reason to believe
I will have a lifetime of
living with your hushed hugs
and wishing for understanding
of your silent speech

    I dont' know what to say other than what you already know things happen for a reason and most of the times, they happen to prepare us for something better. This one was heartbreaking piece.

    Oh Chelsey I loved this poem. Such a strong piece filled with emotions and heartache. It reminds me of the silent treatment where one person in the relationship or friendship does not speak to the other and pretty much ignores them. I've done it a few times. It could be also that this is a relationship where the two people are just not in the same place anymore and it's more routine rather than love. What a sad and heartbreaking piece!

    Loved it

    "I assure you,
    being in a conversation with myself
    only gives me confidence
    that I can survive on my own"

    that was such a wise statement.
    now, I wanna Quote you...

    damn Chels,

    youse been growing as a poet...
    your pieces seem to have been getting,
    more honest, more direct, more harsh if I may say so, its like you sound sarcastic and angry and bitter all in once..

    Keep it up Soxii!

    Great piece~
