Stench of Silence




Humorous isn’t it?
I say something through a laugh
And you take it as a joke.

Oh yes, It reeks of humor.

I try
Try to say it
But all I get is a hug and smile.

It means more
Much more than it sounds
But my mouth won’t put it into clearer terms
And it gets lost
In the borderline which blocks our connection

Suddenly, words of importance are
Meaningless
Exhaustion, steaming from their
Overuse

I step back from their fumes
And grin at my attempts
Which cover its hidden layers
The truth wreaking what cannot be said

And it is then, I notice
my pitied silence
