Deafening silence

This poem touches on the strength of feeling that humans are capable of.

Like a bitter poison without a cure,
Like a complex puzzle without solution,
A blanket of looks and unsaid words,
Woven with uneasiness and rounded off with spite,
Mind games and lies have become the norm,
And I’m finding it so hard to cope.

All the empty words have lost their purpose
And we’re drowning in silence now,
The blank expressions and motionless lips
Shout a story that words just can’t tell
There’s pain in this world we’re at odds with
But I wouldn't be anywhere else.
