blather
the_presence_of_silence
becclebee i sit in the room
there are ten workmates
morning tea time
but there is silence

someone shifts uncomfortabley
everyone looks down
someones coughs
any noise to break the silence
but silence is like a presence in the room
silence is there watching
challenging someone to stand up to him

a feeble attempt at commenting on the silence

silence just smirks
he has us all in his grip

more uncomfortable shifting
coughs, shuffling noises

i want to laugh in the face of silence
and scream "you have no power over me"

instead i pick up my half drunk coffee
and leave

silence has won

...
unhinged was heavy over the phone
when i realized that there was no tactful way
for me to say
that i agreed with you
that there wasn't anything good left between us
that i didn't know if i could hold on anymore
when all you've done for months is try to push me away
