Conspiracy Of Silence

by Meme   Aug 26, 2013


I think you lead me to
the verge of insanity;
to the point of no going
back. Then you weaved
a web of illusion around
me, silencing even the
whispers that accompanied
the loner who used to
camp within me.

Why denying me to dream?

The monochromes of
soundless moments
covered every corner of
the life I lived, and I pleaded
to be deaf but even that
was considered a privilege.

You see, I believed in the
echo of your words. And
for someone like me I am
so inexperienced in your
world; you used to call me
'innocent', but the truth is
I am too corrupted by fear
to take a leap of faith towards
anything ... but I did it for you!

--
Now where does that leave me
standing?
--

You singlehandedly killed us
both. Withholding was never
the answer but you taught
me well, so well that I became
the master of silence. But I
still await the breakthrough;
for your voice remained to be
the one thing I really needed
but couldn't have.
.
.
.
So until you do, I will keep listening...

    I like this Meme..I always feel like I can become one with your poetry, like I wrote it...you use the same tone I do when venting with the, 'You see', and 'now where does that leave me?'...I love that tone in poetry because it adds a bit of rawness and realness to it. when emotion can be felt through words, thats an awesome poem.

    I hate this feeling you describe here. Giving someone more than what you even though you had in you, just for them to not appreciate it and leave you hanging in silence. You described that event very well here.

    nice write, loved the title, love the ending.

    Again a wonderfully written poem from you. Well, eventhough you've been writing less lately, I expected nothing less. Anyways, the poem, a lot of sad poems are written here each day and its really difficult to find something interesting in sad poems anymore, but hey, you managed to keep me reading so that'll surely keep me reading new stuff. All in all I like this, specially the first and last few lines.
