Silence is Golden?

I know why I'm silent, what's your excuse?

I can hear your silence loud and clear.

Can you hear mine

Are you even listening?

 

Your words hurt like rocks

pelting my thoughts

So I think in my head

 

In my head it is safe

I can dream, contemplate

I can be ILLOGICAL

 

We both think we are so right

there is no right with feelings

only feelings

 

Is silence golden?

Words no longer spoken

only heavy silence

 

I am no longer wrong

you cannot respond to nothing

you can't rip the thoughts from my mind

 

Not that you would try

for you, silence is golden

I could be wrong, but my interpretation of this poem is that you are fed up with someone who refuses to communicate...who wont give you back anything. Ive been there..with that type of person, and it is such a losing battle that walking away is the wisest thing I did. :)
This is a wonderful, deeply expressive piece that will touch anyone who reads it. Kudos!!

Very cool. This should be in a card that you can send to anyone you are fed up with not listening to what you think or feel.
Good job.

[The Mad Prophet]

Very touching. I tend to tense up and keep quite alot. The poem almost makes me feel like the bad guy as well, almost though. I really like this one, very expressive.

Very nice and deep, silence can be very loud and you expressed that in a lovely way.

Thank you for stopping by, your review was very helpful :)

I love this... I love the concept... and I agree totally, silence is anything but silent... just because something it isn't verbalised doesn't mean there's nothing there... to me it's the silence... the thoughts in your head that scream the loudest ;p

I love this concept; the ideas here are really good, especially the bit about being illogical in your head-- that's true. And I love the way you question the old adage. Silence is definitely not golden.
Just as a suggestion, I would add something concrete to ground the poem.

I think that you should speak out what you feel. not words, vowels. Consonants. If you are feeling it, just ---!!!!

Is silence golden? I doubt very much. Thank you for speaking out and sharing in writing.
