Sparkless

The silence spoke about a thousand words.

While the sentence caught up in their throat

While the words twisted in their tongue

The pause of not giving an answer, was the answer.

While the mind was unknowingly tinted

The eyes were what explained it all.

Arms became stiff and shoulders became tense.

Physical body language is a master manipulator.

A kiss should mean feelings but the heart was not one to beat for the other anymore.

The ears and brain did not coordinate anymore, when your name was called, their nerves didn't dance around at the speed of light.

It was a malfunction, an error.

It was signs of something shutting down.

You knew it was coming though.

The knowing of an end, while still being in the middle.

You knew, even when you didn't want to.

Even when they didn't.
