The house of silent accusation

living here is hell

Words unsaid
looks broken
treachery unspoken
felt but not heard.

Lies and fantasies
unreal realities
non-existent
phantom
lovers
reaching
in the dark.

Living in
the house
of silent
accusation
is a special
brand of
hell.

It definitely is, as you said, a special brand of hell. This poem is great.

[Lyn Anderson]

It seems there are a lot of kindred souls in here.

[Brittany Zedalis]

Indeed, I agree. This made me think of an abusive relationship I was in a few years ago.

[Madalyn Beck]

I love the dark vibe emenataing from this write! This is something I have gone through and I completely agree. It is a special brand of hell.
Brilliant write! xoxo :)

I know this one well, you nailed another one KL, few words with a huge impact....

[Lyn Anderson]

Ahh yes, we somehow met the twins separated at birth, didn't we?

[Frieda P]

It seriously looks that way...........

[Frieda P]

I hope you don't own your own business, he'll sue you for that too...

[Lyn Anderson]

Oh yeah and the house and the shirt off my back

[Frieda P]

Exactly...............

[Caradoc]

Intensity and truth. Pain, desperation, longing, regret; I see it all in this piece. That first stanza packs a wallop. And then you end it with a title drop and on a chilling note.

You are adept at weaving words and making an impact on your readers. I applaud you.

Thank you so much. That is the goal, and I am taking a bow and smiling:)

This can be taken so many different ways KL. Your pen sure does send my mind wandering, always searching for answers. Though a bit depressing, I like every thing about this. It could be almost anywhere, though I sure your vision sees the locale much more differently.

[Lyn Anderson]

Thank you very much. It was a conversation that spurred this piece. I had to write it the minute the words left my fingers typing.

[Sami Khalil]

I love this write. I accuse you not but applaud you as a fan...:)..............

[Lyn Anderson]

Thank you for your kind words, and reading! I have been throwing up the pieces so fast, people are probably thinking "OH NO not again!"

[Sami Khalil]

As you like. You are welcome...:)..................
