The Silence

She looked at him
and wondered
what it was
she was supposed to feel

Contempt?
Sorrow perhaps?
But she only felt
the numbness
inside of her

He stopped talking
Perhaps waiting 
for a response

She looked at him 
and wondered
what it was
she was supposed to say

He spoke louder
Perhaps to invoke a response
Perhaps to force her to listen
Perhaps to fill the silence

But she only heard 
the silence
Only felt the numbness
 Coiling tightly
inside her 

Holding her,
Binding her,
to the silence
between his words
where she felt safe
