Again the silence.

poem by: P Mason
Written on Nov 27, 2016

Again the silence
And it echoes through my shattered soul like a thunderstorm 
Careening across the Nebraska prairie on a warm
And humid afternoon.

Why will you not simply confront 
What is your goal?
Simply to shut off 
And walk away pretending nothing ever existed ?

I'm done, this hurts, again.
But not as much as before.
I've hardened my heart.
I'll not pick, again, at this existential scab.

There is so much I'll never understand 
You stormed in, unburdened your soul 
To me as no one ever has before.
Then pulled back, and vanished.

As you have, again, here.
But I'm finished, the game has ended
Leaving me to my confusions 
And a love I'll never forget.
