Quiet
my Soul?
How could I have tamped it down,
muffled it to such a Whisper
for Months on End with you
Rattling my brain,
Disintegrating my thoughtspace.
You drowned out the Fire alarms-
police Sirens-
Tornado Warnings-
with your shouting.
For being the
Loudest thing I ever met
You sure ever said nothing.

sometimes we allow people to hurt us so badly, make us so small, that we still need to write poems about it 5 years later.
