Deafening Sigh-lence

Deafening Sigh-lence

My ears are rattled,
Pained by the volume,
Plugs to prevent damage,
The silence is deafening,

Not a sound can be heard,
Not a word nor a laugh,
Left for me to interpret,
The silence is deafening,

Not a thought is uttered,
Not an emotion expressed,
No tone of voice,
The silence is deafening,

I look you straight in the eyes,
Express how I feel,
No reaction is given,
The silence is deafening,

Walking away as if you were never there,
Seemingly speechless at my admission,
Awkwardness fills the air,
The silence is deafening,

I release a deep, heavy sigh,
The lone audible sound,
Speechless in response,
As my head sinks down,

Treating me as if I don’t exist,
No care of my thoughts or feelings,
The plugs now of no aid,
Your silence is deafening.
