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
