In Silence

the anti-climax is

the climax

the apex

the ending

of all that was

and never was

you ended it

just like we spent it

(in silence)

the lonely couple

together

separate

unbalanced

each left to their own devices

own time

own life

somehow expecting so much more

than the other was

willing to give

(or too willing to give)

this relationship

of extremes

at times so quiet

that I could hear the hurt

swell inside me

always listening for the signal

that would bring you

closer

(it never came)

instead I masked

my concern

wrapped it in

indifference

and presented it to you

as hostility

but I called it

“truth-telling”

(defense mechanism)

you answer back with

bravado

mixed with

machismo

which I interpret as

NOT love

(aka “he don’t give a damn about me”)

so again

we coexist

orbiting one another

touching each other

wanting connection

disenchanted

disillusioned

disconnected

(in silence)
