screaming silence

                              I couldnt cry

                      even as my throat swelled shut

                  and the heaviness seeped into my viens

                     the world swimming before my eyes

                        emotions so raw and brutal

                      physical pain aching in my chest

                          choking out the oxygen

                   filling the air with a cold numbness

                     each fine hair on my body rising

                      while shaking violently inside

                     from the effort of keeping it all

                                   Quiet

while reading it, i felt shaken.. until the end, when i felt some kind of disturbing peace.. i love it when you are touched by nothing more than a few words

this poem's amazingly descriptive, that very hard sometimes. i love the thought, and oxymorons in general, "screaming silence." i think the idea is in a couple of my poems as well.

The silence is deafening, this really conveys the feeling of how hard it is to stay quiet. Girly you never cease to amaze me.

the silence is deafening.... you just explained my whole damn poem in one line.... makes me look bad:P

never, it's not possible for you to look bad. *wink*
