Silence … a Poem about a Decision
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!! ^.^
