Conversation

the feeling in a one sided conversation, when you want to speak, but nothing comes out.

Skip a beat, one

two, quite the eloquence

remainders in the silence, three

four, cardiac arrest

Stare into the depths

When lingering thoughts climb higher

Through the hole a gaping

Of my jaw, dropping

Bite my tongue, bitter

Tick, the clock ticks, tock

A gunshot through the head

As end meets end

Information through the wires

With a shortage in the fuse

Utter silence, rising beat

Deep sigh, uncomforted need
