The Silence


Wondering for an answer
you falter
fail
fumble and fall
just short
of getting away with it.

Now you see the ruin
of all we built
mouldering
crumbling
sinking
and cannot see
the instrument
of destruction
on your own lips.

One solid lie
breaks more than this.
Sadly
you even lie to yourself
pretending I am the villian.

That is one more
that you will learn
to believe,
one more I will not
accept.
