Do you know what it feels like to suffer in silence?
It is powerful.
The phrase 'suffer in silence' is so overwhelming it suffocates all your other words.
You sit there stewing -
Leftover soup that no one wants or has the heart to toss.
And what's worse is you have to keep smiling and act aloof -
As if nothing is unchanged.
You sit alone with all this love in your arms and lap -
Squirming like a frisky child.
Afraid to move.
Because if you drop it, that love just runs back to the beloved.
It still seeks a home where it is not wanted.
