Scream

Some words are hidden

Unspoken

Unshared

Some screams are silent

Torturous

The silence

The silence that sits

Crouching

Waiting

On the unsuspecting

To shout

I love you

I love you for the ways you have given me

Of yourself

And the nights

The nights that you took in return

I love you for your smiles

Your tears

Your look that tells me that there’s not much happening at all

Your boredom, to me, excitement

Your simple ways, to me, extreme

Your touch, to me, electric

Your silence, to me, a scream

A scream that says I love you

For all that you are

A scream that says I need you

For who you help me to be

The silence tells you nothing

So I scream.

I scream.

I scream.

I love you.
