Jessica Shiver Poet Rhyme

Awkward Silence Speaks Volumes

The awkward silence beween us,
Speaks volumes through the tension in the air,
I wonder what I said this time,
or maybe its because I was just "there"

What happened to the couple who
together could withstand hell,
Now I watch every move I make,
as if I am walking on eggshells

I know its partially my fault,
for letting things get this way,
But to avoid arguments for years,
I have not said what I needed to say

I cannot take anymore 
of the manipulative tactics you use,
I have to take control of the situation,
My heart cannot take anymore abuse

So what is the next step?
Separation? time apart?
Without you seems impossible,
I don't know where to start
