The conversation reeks of misguided words.

Angry words or miscalculated direction,
Where silence is a grievous injustice of voice.

Silence
Silence

This conversation rambles on and on,
Controversial and unimportant,
The television blares above the noise,
Noise is all it really is,
Unneeded, unwanted.

This conversation is droning on,
Words of discontent,
With a dreary sense of meaning,
This conversation,
Keeps,
Going on and,
On.

The advertisement screams brand names,
An undercurrent of the distracting noise,
The conversation is shaky and nervous,
Incomplete,
Distrusting.

It’s still droning on,
Disgusting,
Revolting,
The silence underneath the conversation is appalling.

Silence
Silence

Subtle and unyielding,
It stands out in the crowded room,
The conversation is,
Stall—
--ing.

The silence: uninviting,
A request for disaster,
It is condemning,
Absolute and demanding.

The conversation fails,
Falls below acceptable,
The silence becomes demeaning,
Cruel and unwarranted.

The conversation never could have lasted.

The silence underneath is disturbing.
Unsettling,
Conniving,
A growing tumor,
And the conversation ends.

Without ever beginning.
