The silence unsettles me
I could never make it my home
Sometimes words fail me
And thoughts hide frozen and numb
The outside world is missing
Biting its tongue, abandoning me
I am not one to enjoy quiet solitude
It taunts me, surrounds me, imprisons me
Is it the world ignoring me?
Or am I avoiding the world?
Suffocated by tranquility
My ears yearn for meaning
Strangled by it, consumed by it, tied up and bound by it
The silence unsettles me
I could never make it my home

Unwelcome solitude is something that touched me, it gave me pause to think about some of the same feelings and frustrations. Thank you for sharing.

Solitude and quiet are nourishing when sought out, but you express the unwelcome sort so well.

Plug-in, podcasts, radio, or visit an old age home. There you just need to listen. Music to my soul.

I like silence, but only up to a certain point.

Indeed. Silence can say so much more than words.

There is a lot of silence in my house throughout the day and it’s nice sometimes, but I usually play music and this silences my solitude! 🙂

TO MY ANGEL(A)
I can feel your pain, like the falling rain
it washes over me leaving me damp and cold and shivering –
but the thought of you warms me like a cup of hot chocolate
and I know it’s going to be okay.
I see through the glaring light of your smiles, and while
you try to hide what you feel inside, I know, in that knowing
that only love can reveal. I want to gather your tears
in the well of my understanding, and pour them
upon the fire of your fears.
I don’t have much to offer, just my heart and my love
but love won’t pay this rent, when you are spent
within the crucible of self-doubt. How can I reach you
and teach you what I know…that you are perfection;
I don’t want to heal you, just reveal to you the beauty
that is you.
You don’t have to let me in, but you, my friend
will always be in me, like a broken sparrow whose wings
will heal, and I know you will fly again.
