That Awkward Silence

 


THAT AWKWARD SILENCE

 

There it was again: that awkward silence

It took seven years this time around.

One look and all the cards were dealt

One glimpse to realize there were no winners.

Keep the house

Burn the furniture

It's all a farce.

 

There it was — that awkward silence

Sneaking up on you when plans were made

A subtle disguise to fool a dreaming fool

who thought that he was special.

Was implies no more

One look

and then

you knew.
