The words she says they pass me by, their meaning, their intention,
bounces off my metal hide the sounds i hear are naught but shallow.
She throws them sternly, then throws them loudly, at nothing but my
silent demeanor, yet i see the rage, i see the frustration.
The words doesn’t hurt me, they never have and never could, though one could
fear they might not heal me either. Suddenly she stops her stream of
questions, accusations, she stares into my eyes looking for an answer,
a reaction, just a minor outburst, yet all she sees are closed windows.
I say nothing and so she turns away and past the door she lets out
a fragile whisper, the words i do not catch but the sound, her voice
cracking, a silent whimper.
It pierces me, my metal hide, deep, deep inside my heart,
so much feeling in a single sound, how it hurts me,
how it opens me. It sets upon me a string of exploding emotions and
i hold them in for just a moment, until i hear the front door slam
which turns my eyes teary. I’m overburdened, the weight too great so
i gently sit down on the floor, feeling the feeble sound from moments
ago, tearing my mortal soul apart.
