Gut punch

It hit me
So hard I broke
No matter what
I’m still so in love it aches
Despite the mauled and shattered heart
Tossed
Despite these well-intentioned silences
Thought to save my heart another break
And help me find my healthy
I never lost this love
Never silenced it
Never logicked past it
And now freed from the prison
I tried to build around it
This love
It aches
It breaks my will
It collapses me in tears of missing
It cries out for a word
A sign
A moment
Of reality
Of recognition
Of appreciation
And reciprocation
 
Why are you silent? when
I know
You know
Our aches are one
Our love is shared
Our bond
Exists
Regardless
Who
And what
Are you thinking to
Protect?
 
In the silence
And the midnight passion
This unacknowledged love
Is a gut punch
Breaking me to tears
Hear me weep
If you will hear
Naught else
