Silences

Why do some people have the power to hurt you? Inaction is as hurtful as action. Words hurt but silence hurts more. There is something very powerful about the unsaid. Silences can demean you, they can taunt you and create monsters in even in the brightest of hearts.

Silence lets you fill in your own colors - depending on how you feel. It's ambiguity  stealthily erases all the footprints that can be traced back unlike its counterpart the words. Silences in relations are like barbed wires - cutting anyone who tries to cross it. 

You can swim in the deep waters of silence trying to find solace, only to find that you have lost sight of the shores. Your own thoughts distorted echo back to you. The unspoken words, meant to say a thousand words, are as powerful as the meanest of words or as powerful as the most loving words. e

Some people prefer take refuge in the unspoken words, avoiding the confrontation of words, or expression. Silence with right body language is more expressive than any poetic phrase , more lethal and potent. They can fill a room with fear or let love bloom through the language of eyes. 

But silences that are meant to create distances are the most potent. They can destroy you, they can shoot down your hopes,and crush your hearts. Silences are meant to enhance words and using it otherwise is not only unwise but also cruel to a certain extent.
