Wilma Neels Poet Free verse

'deafening Silence'

The thoughts she have 
The things she does
Don’t always concur 
There are times
When all she wants 
Is to be held by you 
Feel the comfort of your love 

But all she gets is your silence 
Like a repetitive drum beat
Deafening
Pushing her away 
Confusing and hurtful 

When your words dried up
What does it mean? 
What should she do?
Move on or cling to a past
That held so much promise 
Until that day 
Your words got replaced 

By a deafening silence

Diane Christian July 17, 2015 at 3:34 PM Lovely write its good to communicate but some times been quiet is good too. I'm quiet if some one upsets me I be still and let it pass rather than speak in the heat of the moment I find a loved one knows they in the wrong with out saying a word untill it passes

Andrea Dietrich July 5, 2015 at 11:49 PM this is so good, Wilma. This is what happens when some people cannot wake up and see what they are doing to their relationships!!

Emile Pinet July 5, 2015 at 6:00 PM This is very deep and seeks meaning in feelings rather than words when they fall silent. Emile.
