It's eerie when the quiet is so loud you can't hear yourself think. Silence creeps into your mind and holds it hostage as it beats through your veins. “Can we talk about it later?” he says sternly. I try to speak my view again but he cuts me off, “Can we talk about it later?” At this point his tone suggests that it is more of a request than a question. Not an order, but a stern and gentle request. I crawl inside myself and quiet the turmoil within. We're both stubborn. In all honesty that is our relationship's only flaw. He'll end up winning this one and I'll fall asleep suffering, wanting to have him to myself a little longer than I know I'll have him tomorrow. It's eerie the way the quiet sweeps in. You would never think quiet could be such a hostile tone.

Quiet
