Sound Proof
I don’t know how to break the silence
between us.
The glass window that has been built,
it’s becoming sound proof.
I beat my fists against it,
I scream your name.
My vocal chords are bleeding,
my knuckles have no more flesh
I can’t break through it
gods, how I have tried.
It presses against me
squeezing out my air;
I can’t breathe, panic sets in,
screams beg for help.
Hear the words I am not saying,
but how could you,
when you can’t even hear me screaming.
The silence is heavy between us
so thick I’m suffocating.
I’m choking on my blood,
on a silence so loud.
I’m choking these unspoken words.
