the sound of silence

 
 
 
okay so today like so many times we fought  
 
no broken china spilled curry or even blood  
no torn notebooks or splinters of what used  
to be beautiful cellphones with crystal display  
showing the radiant face of the lover  
 
there was none of that shit  
no residue warcry  
nothing  
 
there was only silence  
 
staticstoicsolid  
 
that wrung my innards  
till bile gushed with every breath  
in tiny volcanic spurts  
 
and more silence  
 
which saturated me to a point  
where my head hit the door knob  
thrice while wanting to get out  
of the crapper that got smaller  
every five minutes  
 
never knew what you meant  
when you asked me to go home  
memory lapse i would say  
 
i did not have one  
 
not without you  
 
if you meant the box  
or maybe hell  
 
fair enough  
though  
 
solitary  
that is  
but  
of course
