I leave the sanctuary of my room,
walking down the long
winding stairway.
I enter into a noisy silence that
disturbs my being.
The T.V. is on and noise fills the air, but it is in that wordless state that I am haunted and tormented.
I make my way across the living room floor. Carefully balancing myself like a high wire act with no net.
My body racks and convulses.
Desperately yearning to hear those words never spoken……
That he loves me.
