"My heart is like an old house whose windows have not been open for years"

and in his silence...

"I saw Edens that I had in my hand,
I saw promises that I did not keep
Pains I did not heal
Tears I did not shed.
I saw deaths that I did not cry,
Prayers I did not answer,
Doors I did not open,
Doors I did not close,
Lovers I left behind,
And dreams I did not live.
I saw all that was offered to me
And all that I could not accept.
I saw all that could have been
But never will be."
--Ashes & Snow; Gregory Colbert

Silence is powerful.
there is the comfortable silence
and the silence of sleep
of rivers down deep.
the silence of tension
of thoughts you want to mention.
Silence can provoke tears or relief
or reaffirm one's belief.
But if they choose to be silent
Silence is too powerful.

I guess I just don't feel welcome anymore.
