I Cannot Read Your Mind

Questions go unanswered
You are being silent again
What reason can there be
I wish you would explain

Pondering the reason why
As heart and mind debate
I hang on with uncertainty
Still with patience I wait

Silence became confusing
Reassurance I need again
I am having mixed signals
While questions remain

Meanwhile I was guessing
With answers hard to find
Did silence have a reason
I cannot read your mind

Hope, I understand this so well.  I know this feeling of the silence being able to cut deeper than the words themselves do.  Hugs sweetie.

Oh, those "Sounds of Silence". I'd almost rather hear a rant 'n rave over stony silence!

Hugs to you, sweet poetess.

The silent treatment is so damaging to a relationship.

Silence: could be it's own answer
maybe try reading the eyes
if asking does not work

Some tell me my mind is easy to read

like my wife and my boss
adagio
