Talking

I've been told that talking will solve all problems

So we've talked

And talked

And talked

And talked

 

But I still cry at night

The pain still infects my heart

The memories still eat away at me

Your face still haunts my dreams

 

I finally started to recover

No more talking

Silence...

Cold stares

Rumor's

 

But that pain I could handle

I started to feel again

Smile

Laugh

Enjoy things again

 

But then....

 

You want to talk

Again....

 

I can see the eagerness in your face

The pain in your eyes

And your nerves taking over

 

And I give in

The talking starts again

The pain comes rushing back like a wave

The tears stain my cheek

 

FRIGGING TALKING!!! I'M SICK AND FRIGGING TIRED OF TALKING!!!!!!

 

Please....please...please just stop talking

Very good and intresting. I agree with Coyote. Talking does help a lot.

talking for some people relieves guilt... for others it only inflames it

[Coyote Poetry]

You are correct in this poem. Talking may help if a time limit. With old age I always say. "Give me the reason for this conversation when the words are going no-where." I like the feel and emotion in this poem. A excellent ending to this outstanding poem. Thank you.

Yeah, sometimes silence is better. Communication is good but sometimes you need a break from one another.

[Calypso]

Well written.

[Arsenic Nemesis]

Very nice, really emotional and deep, and so well written; great job, keep it up!~

[Undying Glory]

this was nice work, and such deep emotions one can find in this great poem here. yeah this was interesting too. i mean they always say "A problem shared is a problem halved" but here i guess the problem seems to double.
good job here!

Sometimes we need to cocoon ourself away to heal. Hide from the memories and find peace if only until we are greatly distanced from them and then look back at them.
