Chapter 34 - POEM 34 : “I Panic When You Go Silent”

It's strange…

How silence can feel so loud,

How the absence of your words

Can turn my thoughts into a crowd.

When you don't reply,

When you suddenly disappear,

My mind starts creating fears

I don't want to hear.

Did I say something wrong?

Did something change?

Or am I just overthinking

Something that's still the same?

I hate this side of me…

This anxious little part,

That depends on your presence

To calm my heart.

But that's what you've done—

You've become my peace,

And without you,

That peace starts to decrease.
