silent treatment

talking to you is like talking to a god
the silence is deafening
i have been in your temple
i have drunk the water there, and found it sweet
but now, you bar my entrance

i am not pure enough to come inside
what will the rites of purification entail?
time, most likely
full submission?
is what it feels like you want
is what it feels like is the only thing
that would prove to you
that i'm safe
but that would be a lie
i cannot be your worshiper

i must be equals with my lover
for i am a goddess too, as much
as you are a god
and my heart is a wild thing
in full taming, it would be broken
and cease to be me
until i slipped away
again
to find my breath

you are as fierce as i am
and as vulnerable
and as gentle
but you have locked yourself away
from me

perhaps you merely forgot
to reopen the door
perhaps you expect me
to know i can come in
perhaps you'e waiting for me
to realize it will be forever locked
perhaps you just need time
to see if you can trust me again
perhaps i forgive
more quickly than you can

i do not know
the silence is deafening.
