I stress in the silence immediately following the sharing of my great thoughts
When I draw from my collections of truth, interests and opinions
and my conversation-mate grows untrusting, uninterested and argumentative
I suddenly feel frustrated, disconnected and invalidated
It's in the silence that I'm aware of how lonely conversation can feel
Will this lead to heartbreak? Is there a way to protect my heart from what has not happened, may not happen and is just a trigger?
