Your Silence Poem by Aparna Chatterjee
Your Silence
I have spoken long enough
I have spoken well enough
Now let me be silent
And see how Silence speaks
Hear the words unspoken
For you could never speak
And whenever I asked you
All I could ever hear, was:
Your Silence…
Yes, that very Silence of yours
Which sucked all my life out
making me feel miserable
day in and day out
Still I kept holding on,
hoping on and hanging on…
If you could ever speak
Yet you never spoke up
Instead, offered me a challenge
A challenge to a broken heart?
A challenge to a defeated soul?
Oh! How Ruthless you could be…
And still you ever want me
To keep hearing your silence
And make some meaning of it all
I told you long before
Silence never works for me
I am a woman of words…
It might work well for you
So be it, my love…
If that is what you call ‘friendship’
Let you be silent
And me be too
And we can still remain ‘friends’
For if you speak
And I speak too
Who knows, One day
We might become foes…
And I would rather die
A Friend of yours
Than choose to be a Foe.
nice words. poetry is indeed the reflection of day to day life contrary to the popular belief that its is mere work of imagination. i could connect some events in my life to these lines. all the best
And I would rather die A Friend of yours Than choose to be a Foe. Love the words. It speaks for silence.
Beautiful poem. It seems words are poured out from someones heart. Well I know very well how one will feel. Silence is very difficult to break. As long as communication goes on even though some bitter words are thrown at each other, there is not much problem. But when silence falls it is very very difficult to cross the river. Only the positive hope and continous effort can break the silence, it should be done as early as possible. It should not be delayed. Wonderful flow of words from your pen. Loved reading it.
Let you be silent And me be too And we can still remain ‘friends’ For if you speak And I speak too Who knows, One day We might become foes… And I would rather die A Friend of yours Than choose to be a Foe. Great lines. Thanks for sharing
Sometimes you have to be silent to make others hear the words unspoken......
It is a true heart's lamentations. I agree with you.

One silent and one speaking may be better than both silent or both speaking. But let speaking and silence take turns in a positive way. Being friends is better than turning foes. Feelings nicely expressed. Thank you.
