The Silent Game

His gaze as cold as ice.

The grip of his hand clutched tightly around my wrist,

while his tears fall endlessly.

Breathless, I force myself to decide.

Shall we always play this silent game;

the words caught in our mouths

and trapped and guarded by our tongues?

Heart filled with grief,

his burdens are shown openly through his soundless actions.

Will I end this now and run to his aid?

Or let the loneliness he feels

pull him into that dark abyss

that he calls his soul?

I forget the things screaming in my brain.

I speak,

and we both know

we now longer can play this silent game.

AN: I hope that you all like it! I'm sending this in for a contest my teacher wants me to win! Wish me luck, okay?
