The fragile connection is broken
The silence between us is heavy with anger and pain
There is no whisper, no touch
No kiss that can break this silence
The tears have to flow
The pain endured
The words cannot be unheard
They speak loudly from the pit of my stomach
Speaking is silver
Silence is gold
Sometimes things are better left unspoken
Some words are like daggers in the heart
I am bleeding
But I will live.
