Awkward! The silence is thick The tension is so tight At any moment this rubber band is going to pop! Restrained emotion, revealing the cracks in a broken relationship. Awkward! The silence is deafening Crowding my thoughts with anguish as I try, once again To diffuse this situation. Should I speak or remain silent? It is aw... More..
