Reticent Choosing

The silence deafens
A previously defiled air of ingratitude
Yet the paradox of saying so little are the
Screams of an indecent lack of latitude

Or so you would think.

Unforgiving the unforgivable, your eyes accuse
Silence your unspoken punishment
Daring me to continue my painful departure from trust
I refuse

Refuse

To forgive the audacity of you
To not learn from complete deficit
Of character and caring
This conflict becomes all too wearing

You lose

Lose.

I leave you confused
Making a difference for me
For the first time in this quagmire
I choose

Excellent.. a feeling of being back in control of your life or situation.

Well done!

I enjoy your word play, and the spunkiness I sense in this write.
I don't know if I've said this yet, but
