Wearing Relations
Ringing silence, wringing peace
Events occurred, escalated recurrences
Watching in paralysis, a numbing sensation
Scathing remarks, scorched memories
Wishing away, sighting regret.
Deceit assuming a paradigm
Premature trust, humbling truth
Blinding innocence, directing guilt
Tears audible, ignorance depriving
Unfazed concern, proferring a hand.
Erratic tempers, conflicting perspectives
Rifts formed, roles exchanged
Apologies unheard, responses defective
Avoidance deflecting, discussion foregone
An ear understanding, resigning judgement.
Forts formed, words guarding
Betrayal pervasive, support strained
Bonds protecting, verdicts negligible
Reputation preceding, a parent to paper
Beckoning motions, soothing emotions.
Proceedings proceeded, an untold process
Omitted whereabouts, unforgiving losses
Crumbling structure, incredulous thoughts
Paternal instincts, convinced away
Blood bearing, burden boring.
