Silent Bonds

What quietness is this that exists to torment my soul,
That you readily provide me with?
How am I to evaluate this silence?
Do I break it and risk the anger that may follow?
No, I cannot face an anger that I cannot control.
Yet, how can I go on,
Unsure of what may be going on in your mind?
Are you sad, mad, depressed, disappointed...
Have I done something I should not,
Not done something I should?
I do not know.
I cannot thrive in silence.
Yet, I am afraid to break the boundaries
Of the quietness that chains me.
