Silence

Once upon a time your silence drove me mad. It ate away at me, made me cry; it drove me to distraction. Your silence devastated me. Once upon a time your silence turned my life upside down. I cursed it, raged at it; nothing mattered but the sound of your voice. Your silence crippled me. Once upon a time your silence reduced me to a neurotic mess. All flaming insecurities, raging doubts; my whole world revolved around you. Your silence decimated me. Once upon a time your silence dictated my every thought and action. Not anymore, never again; I now live my life my way, on my terms. Your silence is a reprieve Once upon a time your silence caused me to lose myself. Now it's like myself, love myself; time to work on me and my life. Your silence is a blessing Once upon a time your silence made me question us. I still love you as always, only now I love me more. I still miss your voice but only briefly. Because now, I revel in your silence.
