Matter & Time

 Vocally I am arrested.

Tied and bound like an abductee

when you call me to tell me

you miss me.

Astonished am I to realize

that my good demeanor throughout this ordeal

has done more damage

than offer mutual placating, for you

are just as suspicious

and vicious as ever.

Instantly I am misty-fied

the moment you say my name

and I wonder if I should try acting

as if I'm still saddened,

even if I thank you for having the strong will

to do what's best by both of us.

 

How could I betray my emotions?

I assure you

it's only a matter of time.

And if you'd care to listen closely

you may find all of the answers in the silence

you leave behind.

I like the mystery of the whole poem here.
We don't know who or what your talking about
but it pushes us to read further for a hint of sanity.
Was it love? Was it a crime? We may never know but
one thing I do know....this was very good writing Kelsey.
It was my pleasure reading it. Thanks for sharing.

A excellent poem. You led us a journey with a interesting ending. In the end all things do come out. Poem was a pleasure to read.
