the air became silent, hair bristling, breath quiet
no turning back from this attack, no defending.. unrelenting, intent violent
the tension thick, palpable.. accusations, all factual
we locked looks, hands shook, sweat pouring amounts incalculable
nobody blinked. nobody spoke. nobody broke. at the brink.
i'd held it inside this deep mind, this deep sigh, this deep.. why?
a simple question, and yet, no answer still
she knows that i know this shit show has battered her will
mind racing profusely, each repetition echoes its own diction
for she's stunned, loosely, facing this conviction
a roaming partner can pick apart the darkest heart even at its darkest hour
but a leveled home can shatter bones, their very souls, stealing all their power
and here i sit upon this pit, this ruin of my very own
she glares at me with baited breath for the next move in my tome
a shattered glass, a hidden past, her secret's in the open
and yet the silence shall remain between us..
the truth forever broken
