Silence
is strong and loud
Cold yet burns
deception at it’s best
turns cowards into heroes
the fearful into fearless.
It breaks the strongest
to their knees
the bravest Into doubt
It breaks the thickest of blood ties
Friendships can’t survive it either!
It’s toxic
It’s violent
It’s brutal
It’s hands free yet physical;
the worst of all weapons.
Silence
conceals pain
breaks
betrays
belittles.
Silence
is like venom
Killing it’s host slowly
It’s like a kiss
of a betrayer
It’s like dinning
with an enemy
It’s an invisible knife
that cuts deeper than seen
It’s an invisible fire
that burns clean.
Silence just is!

Love the silence. For me, it’s music to my ears! Nice poem.
There’s beauty in silence yet the reverse is very true.🙏
A powerful weapon for the wife or the husband.
A weapon that I would never recommend either.😁
ouch I feel it’s burn, great descriptors
Thank you Heather.
So touching- I have never been able to truly stand silence.
Thank you very much 🙏. Silence can be dangerous.
It’s all that and more. Thanks for the silent words
You are absolutely right. Silence can be good in many instances but can be very toxic in many instances too.
Silence can be beautiful except when used as a weapon. Our hearts always know the difference. Very real description.
You are absolutely right.
This is a solemn reminder about intent. Even the gifts of solitude and silence can be used to hurt others if it within our heart.
I like it that silence has been interpreted in a different way. It has awed and inspired me, and I owe you for that. I also like your way of writing,strings of words leaving a novel impact.A pleasure to visit your blog!
Thank you very much. I appreciate your kindness 🙏
Your interpretation of solitude shows how silence can be a weapon! I love the descriptive words!! Thank you
Thank you very much Soma. Silence can be so many things a weapon is one of those things.🙏
