Despite how much hope and love you have for the people in your life, sometimes you just need a little closure, even from family.
Silence
Your time is up
A window of opportunity
Closes
Your silence begetsSilence
Five years I gave you
To decide
Am I human … or notPatiently I watched you all
Dig your holes of hypocrisy
So deep
You can’t climb outTraded sharp words
Knives in my back
Now you fear bleeding to death
To remove themIn family love is unconditional
Until you have to explain
Me to your friends
Sharing blood is not done inSilence
Five years waiting for you
To make an effort to
UnderstandLife continues on
One day you’ll wake to find
You wasted it being
Uncomfortable
With love to my mom, who has been quietly wonderful, but all too far away. Hugs!! ^.^
Your words touched my heart. Thank you.
Nicely done Miki, but seems so sad. huggs you.
Wow! Very well put and powerful….Sniff..Hugs!
Extraordinary poem. I feel that powerful silence. And the last word is wonderfully unexpected.
Thanks so much, Janet. I almost didn’t post this, it wasn’t as happy or silly as my other stuff. ^_^
