Loud Silence

She awoke to the slamming of a door and a half empty bed. The silence was deafening in the midst of his arrival. A quiet door open, a quiet sliding of fists over pillows, and a silent door slam. With each movement he made, he grew further and further from her ears. By the time he reached their kitchen, it was completely gone. The room went quiet and her mind took on a life of its own. Shut into her own personal hell of thoughts and feelings she couldn’t keep down any longer. So much being said, so much being felt, and all in the midst of complete and utter silence.
