Never
Tense
Unspoken words dangled
On invisible strings
Wss it a fight?
Too quiet
The air barely vibrates
No taunts to soil it's calm
I don't know where I stand.
A dam breaks
Feelings revealed
The spirit flooded and drowned
And
Turmoil
Became every night's food
Never ending
Stuffing every orifice imbued
With a sense of starving
Never lending
Nutrition to the soul.
I retched
So close to death
I vomited
So much poison in her breath.
I stirred
My stomach aching
I rose
My heart breaking
I wept
My mind anticipating
I spoke
A truce instigating.
Can we end this battle?
Can we stop our death rattle?
It is not to be.
We die into eternity.
Only then will all be still,
Turmoil never again our souls to fill.

This week's poem prompt from Blockchain Poets is "Chaos".
I hope this gave some impression of Chaos to the readers. A breakup is never without a struggle.

Dang that was a tense encounter. Was it a fight, or just a way of being that developed after a period of estrangement? Not to be.
I really appreciate how much emotion you poured into this poem @driptorchpress.
The tension and inner struggle you described feels so real—I can personally relate to those moments where words hang unspoken and turmoil takes over. Your imagery and honesty make this piece so powerful, relatable, and actually moving.
Thank you for sharing your heart.
