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.
