the silence of the broken

And the silence is
tense

awkward

deafening

It tries to fill a gap

the silence of us

the silence of broken stares
and empty conversations

It tries to make up for lost connections
the silence of I
the silence of doubt
the silence of you
the silence of

the heart weeps of strangled emotion
of unanswered questions

the silence of inspired illusion
the silence of lost hope
of lost friendship
of lost love
the silence of

the silence tries to fill the void
tries to fill the emotion
of hands that touched
of hearts that bared

the silence tries to fill the pieces
the silence tries


the silence is tense
the silence is awkward
the silence is deafening
