One Small Word

One Small Word
5/17/2013

Silence descends,
No words spoken
The air snaps, sizzles.
Why?
One word…
One small word led to such tension.
One small word…
One word…
And the flood broke
Leading to
No words
Spoken.
Nothing said—
Nothing fixed—
But should I save it?
Or do I let it
Fall apart?
Crumble, break
Like a castle that been
Besieged for far—too—long.
Is this castle
Worth
Saving?
Building back up
From brick to brick?
Is it worth it?
A good question—
That answer of which
I know not.
But my answer
After thinking
And thinking—
It’s—not—worth—
The pain and anger
All the energy expended
But only on my part.
No
No
No.
It’s—not—worth it.
When she leaves,
I’ll just let it
Fade
Away.
