The Silence After

May 7, 2021

The silence after,

My world feels shattered.

Tears roll down my body..

bruised and battered.

Time slows in the wake of the disaster,

during the fight- it couldn't move faster..

Who is at fault..the actor or the reactor?

Do my feelings even matter?

Lately it feels like they aren't even a factor..

I miss the love, the smiles, and the laughter.

Manipulation,

you're the master.

Can you truly love someone and then attack her?
