Silence falls suddenly
And fog shrouds a friendship
My hands are covered in splinters
from gripping onto the final brittle straws
Our loudest words lost in a thunderstorm
Searching for ways to reconcile the blaring drama,
As a new day begins
Sunshine beams my focus onto
Snakes in the grass caressed by deceit,
Entering the contest of balance
As they slither at my feet
Burning animosity assaults the air
Holding my breath in order to leave all the dilemmas behind
Anticipating to exhale solace
Once it’s all over
