in the in betweens,

when i'm not crying, 

and he's not mad, 

there is quiet. 

i don't know if the quiet is better or worse.

the quiet is not harsh words digging into my skin.

the quiet is a smothering blanket. 

the quiet is not sobs ripping through my shaking form. 

the quiet is laying in bed until 2 A.M. staring at the ceiling. 

i don't know if i hate or love the quiet.
