Silence

Dina Abuali

Has left me in bliss 
Stoned forever 
Withholding my tongue
Nibbling on my mumbled words
Mistaken them for none
Tears shiver
Triggering my emotions
Source or weapon
To keep my point form going
You withled my tongue 
Weaponized my manipulation
Claiming to be what may be love
Only in your eyes will be salvation
Truth may be told for you
May I ask “What is peace”
What availability must I approach for you
Stepping over my boundaries
