Silence Poem by Kristy Artmann

Your silence tells an unclear story.
It forgets to tell secrets.
It crushes my trust for you.
It fails to tell me you love me,
you adore me, you can’t live without me.
It shuns my feelings towards you.
It pushes my embraces away.
It heeds the doom of departure.
It leaves me lonely.
It freezes my frowns.
It tears my spirit at the seams.
It abandons me when I need you.
It divests me as your lover.
Your silence is infectious.
