Your Silence

I have spoken long enough I have spoken well enough Now let me be silent And see how Silence speaks Hear the words unspoken For you could never speak And whenever I asked you All I could ever hear, was: Your Silence… Yes, that very Silence of yours Which sucked all my life out making me feel miserable day in and day out Still I kept holding on, hoping on and hanging on… If you could ever speak Yet you never spoke up Instead, offered me a challenge A challenge to a broken heart? A challenge to a defeated soul? Oh! How Ruthless you could be… And still you ever want me To keep hearing your silence And make some meaning of it all I told you long before Silence never works for me I am a woman of words… It might work well for you So be it, my love… If that is what you call ‘friendship’ Let you be silent And me be too And we can still remain ‘friends’ For if you speak And I speak too Who knows, One day We might become foes… And I would rather die A Friend of yours Than choose to be a Foe.
