Silence.
That is what I crave, that is what I need.
She doesn’t understand that though,
with her mouth constantly moving.
I watch it move but hear no words
as I desperately try to get Silence.
Silence.
That is what I crave, that is what I need.
I cannot breathe with her smothering words,
the untrue words her lips speak.
She knows the lies that her words hold,
she knows the inaccuracy of what she slurs.
Silence.
That is what I crave, that is what I need.
Untrue. Unjust. Unsound.
That is what she speaks.
I am enraged by her gossip, those deceitful words.
Silence.
That is what I crave, that is what I need.
Slash!
The strangled scream from the knife,
My blood, my tongue lying ominously
away from my unsound mouth.
Silence.

Thanks for the review guys
Wow, I mean. . . Omg I'm just so blown away by this, it's so captivating, it draws me in. Silence indeed is a powerful thing, and gossip spread by others can really effect other people in a bad sort of way. This poem is so moving, it's amazing, so charismatic, I can almost feel the pain this person feels. I'd really like to know where you got the inspiration for this. Is it real life experiences, or simply just an issue you liked as a topic for your poem. I'm gunnna definitely have to check more of your work!!
You sound like a great poet !!
Keep up the good work!! It truly is AMAZING!!
This is a very deep poem I like your repetition "Silence this is what I crave, this is what i need." Though there is a grammar error though. In "This is what I crave, this is what I need" You don't need a comma. In poetry, there are few grammar and punctuation marks in the middle of a phrase. That is a very minor error. I think the last verse is very like the Hunger Games. It reminded me of the Avoxes.
