The Silent Treatment

The Silent Treatment

 

A voice speaks

      No one answers

A letter written

      There’s no reply

A text sent

      No words return

 

What did I do?

      nothing

What did I say?

      nothing

What’s wrong?

      nothing

 

The silence is deafening,

enclosing me in a vacuum.

I turn right, I turn left

seeking an answer,

a sound to guide me,

to sign to show me the way,

 

Nothing.
