Deafening Sound
When I am pushing back,
raising hell,
expressing the painful
or angered emotions
from which you hurt me,
it is a step towards being heard,
towards trying to right the wrong
and mend the wound,
yet when I am radio silent,
when I do not respond
and there is not a question of pensive thought
that is what you have to fear
for it is not a calm before a storm
but a deafening quietude
ceasing communication
between us
