His silence was a lie
Her resentment grew into a storm
Saying nothing was oppression
in her mind
Secret fantasies of revenge
Played themselves out
in her imagination
She believed
He had a moral obligation
To speak up
Her life was poisoned
By his memory
And the wish to destroy him
Nursed her fantasies
As she pushed back against oppression
Against a tyrant
That never had the balls
To speak up
And tell her his truth
