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.
