Ava Siomou Poet Free verse

To Noise

you drape an arm over me,

                      busying the other with your phone

its screen is hurting my eyes and your chin is hurting my ribs, but i don’t say that

      i don’t say a thing

           it’s too late, i say 

             i don’t want to disturb you

                i can’t handle another fight today

                   

                                                my mouth is closed

           i want to scream 

    i want to make a noise

that you won’t be able to pick apart and refute

        i want to tell you that i’m unhappy,

            that i want out 

               that i want to make it all stop

        all the fights, all the tension in my chest,

    all the arguments i lose

                           i want it to be gone;

                                   for us to be okay again,

for your jokes to make me smile 

           and your lips to make me weak



i don’t want silence
