THE HOUSE OF ENIMIES

We don't scream.

We don't shout,

We just talk.

We. Just. Talk.


No tears left

and our voices raw.

The world starts to spin

as my head gets sore.


I can feel it rise,

the anger bubbling.

I just keep it in

to prevent my fate.


I'm grounded, I'm dead

there's nothing left.

No friends, no phone

I just cry in my bed.


They don't understand

They never did.

When it all crashes down,

that's it.


There's nothing I can do

but listen

and wait

and listen some more.


The doors slam themselves,

the rooms argue.

The silence is broken,

then stop...


...there is nothing,,,

...quiet...

,,,peace...

...death...


...the solitude embraces me

it practically raised me.

The shouting, you get used to it

and you learn to treasure the silence.
