Silence

Silence By Rebecca Dominique morris We once would talk for hours about the littlest of things Freely able to converse with every word spoken a strum on my heart strings We used to say good morning just to start our day I never knew then , things would end this way I went from feeling loved to now just being ignored Praying you’d have some basic compassion or decency from the lord Reaching out just to hear you say the words for this to end But instead you ignore and refuse to communicate using the silent treatment to debase oneself morally- condescend silence… Silence that shows you, you are no longer valued and your words feelings and thoughts no longer matter Your mind left confused and blatter A message without words that leaves your value feeling depleted and your voice and thoughts muted Silence which is a tactic to leave you feeling Intentionally persecuted Silence and not even a basic and dignified conversation Causing intentional deprivation Silence The silent treatment known as just another form of being abused Leaving it’s receivers hurt , frustrated , confused and feeling used Ignoring someone is not a strategy; it's a flat-out disregard for someone else's feelings Why instead of ignore do you not just Confess the truth that you’ve been concealing Why would you want to hurt someone like this intentionally Abuse someone mentally No regard for how it makes a person feel Doubts if what we had was ever real Silence You’ve got a way of tearing a world apart, how, can you not see what you’ve done Silence It’s the most damaging thing you could do to someone Making them feel they are less and not worth your time so are muted The things we once shared left polluted Silence It’s that really all we’ve been through is worth The devils tactics at play here on earth Silence

The silent treatment - just another form of abuse. So true Dominique. My father hasn't spoken to me in over thirty years. Is that an entry for Guinness book of world records? Idk. Sad poem
