Unsaid Loudness

Quiet Hope

Silence is a loud sound

Your smile breaks the sound barrier

Yet I hear the lack of answers

A vibration of the unknown seems 

To cancel you being close enough

For a kiss to land on me

Despite the glow on your face

The lack of words leave me empty

I am hollowed out waiting for something

Advice boards say men move mountains

While someone nudges us into the same area

A continuation of nothing 

Even though I swear there were years

Of chemicals dancing, waiting, and releasing 

The anticipation and the realization 

You were bound

I was bound

In the unbounded, we are not bound

About the Creator

Lisa Pulliam

I love making fun of my emotions, feelings, and thoughts in short form writing such as songs and illustrations. I would like to write longer and more explorative pieces for others to read.
