There was a deafening silence
around us,
inside us.
It felt like the walls
had taken a deep breath
just to hold it in.
I felt the pressure
in my brain.
I had never heard you say
such things before.
I wasn't prepared
to be so speechless.
As we continued to wait,
I saw the consequences
of my silence
etched across your face.
Your eyes were closed,
your fists were clenched,
and I was still speechless.
At this point,
you were beyond answers
or confirmations of love.
You were hellbent on
revenge.
