silence

  i can hear you
  loud and clear
  but you don't know
  
  when thunder crashes
  a million times today
  words too loud
  wanting no answer
  
  so i stay silent
  
  when lightning burns
  spotlighting, highlighting imaginary flaws
  a look of fury
  too far for an answer
  
  so i stay silent
  
  when it ices over
  to trap and drown and freeze
  cold anger within walls
  ignoring the answer
  
  words tear at my throat
  but i stay silent
  
  and the rain is soft and
  unoticed

  Nice contrasts going on in the poem. Loudness and silence, and softness of the rain gone unnoticed.

  Hello preya,
  
  This poem is slightly too abstract for me.
  
  However I do like its ending i.e.
  
  “words tear at my throat
  but i stay silent
  
  and the rain is soft and
  unoticed” (Spelling error)
  
  Thanks for the read.
