This Room Is Too Big For My Voice

top button undone
sleeves rolled
to the quarter length
as you cross your arms
subconsciously defensive
this room is too big for my voice
the half-second delay draws out my word
with agonizing precision
I hear my self as you must hear me
you are resisting
head back
eyes flying past ceiling
starring at nothing
not looking at me
this room is too big for my voice
too empty
nothing but hard floor
and a world of distance
twenty steps would bring me close enough to taste your aggression
feet planted
left leg, slightly behind
leaning slightly back
just being
and I manage to hold my own apprehensive pose
this room is too big for my voice
too big for me
echoing back my words in spite
like you have always been
mocking my hypocrisy
your eyes catch mine
and the words cease to spill past my lips
"I have nothing to say to you" you say
my heart turns to lead
and hits the floor
this room is too big for your voice
and the echo continues the sentence
repeating
I am struck by the dramatics
like a play, the perfect tragedy
I am the actress
lost in the script
well read though it is
you are just the last word in my sentence
forever lingering, ever audible

| Reminds me of the other day when my instructor yelled at me twice. You wrote this well - I can appreciate the dramatics in the situation too. Well written! I'm glad I peeked in here. Blessings. |

I feel so lucky to have read this poem. Because it is unique and it stands out dramatically.
I can picture the scenario and hear a voice that is resonating and the body language and so on.
That makes for GREAT poetry.
