Resounding Silence

Noise of silence
drifting through me
as if to devour my every thought
consumed with desire for release
I have been here before,
staring at closed doors...
Open the door
when you have time,
or feel the need...
this I never denied you...
I encourage you to be real.....
you asked the same of me,
[to have laughs and adventures
along with problems and despair]
when I try those doors,
they seem to be locked...
I guess your the only one with the keys.
....and so I sit in resounding silence
the memories of unfinished words
tearing through me,
stealing emotions at will
crushing the heart...
I dared to ask,
to request....
I sought to understand,
yet I sit in resounding silence
lost to the thoughts and assumptions,
to which I have no real clue.
Seeking, reaching, craving, asking...
only finding this resounding silence.
