You always capture me,
holding on so tightly
that I couldn't get away
even if I wanted to.

You might scream at me,
pounding your rage into my face,
explosive, out of control,
out of proportion.

You might tower above me,
rubbing in the truth
with an evil laugh.
taunting, teasing, chiding.

Sometimes you hold me
and sing softly,
cradling me, watching me,
and comforting me.

Later you might beam with joy
as you run and jump around,
shouting in every possible way
that you're glad to be alive.

But sometimes even you fall apart
and sit alone in a corner
sobbing as though the world
is beginning to fall into pieces.

You have so many faces
so many personalities
endless combinations
And that is why I love you

But... you always have to leave me
and as you fade into nothing
I realize that I am alone.
Alone in the silence.
