Nobody

Nobody talks about the damage

of the silent treatment.

Because silence doesn't leave bruises.

It leaves questions.

I reread conversations.

Replayed memories.

Wondered what I did wrong.

That was the trap.

Your silence became my guilt.

Your distance became my responsibility.

Then one day, I understood-

people who care communicate.

People who leave confusion behind

usually have no intention of bringing peace.

And that's when everything changed.

I stopped looking for answers

inside your silence.

Because the silence was the answer.
