Though you take from what we had
and try to break me
(whispering little lies)
I will keep silent,
and hope they understand
why I must now lie, too.

Eerie and intriguing. Others relationships are intriguing (mine no less so).
November 18, 2012 at 4:25 AMThis is a weighty silence..i like the use of brackets..like a split in the voice...sometimes collusion can make you feel belonging..other times perhaps it sets you (uncomfortably) apart..
November 18, 2012 at 4:34 AMwondering what happened to force the silence!
November 18, 2012 at 5:39 AMYep, you've done it again, woman. This is my struggle, too -- only, I'm tired of protecting someone who relies on that protection to continue to be reprehensible.
November 18, 2012 at 9:18 AMInteresting conflict between trust, honour and betrayal!
November 18, 2012 at 2:06 PMLies to destroy and lies to protect... oh what a tangled web... beautifully woven!
November 18, 2012 at 7:24 PMThere is a conspiracy of silence which can break one's resolve if it's for the wrong reasons. Your poem has a hint of "omission" in it, and it was very intriguing. Thanks, Ann. Peace, Amy
