Nothing Exploded

Mara N.O.S

Every love I knew before him was loud. Shouting in the kitchen, leaving just to come back worse. Then an even voice on a normal Tuesday, and I kept waiting for the turn that never came.

Calm felt wrong to me. I almost called it boring, almost mistook steady for small, and one night I picked a fight just to see if he would swing. He listened and asked what was really wrong, and there I was, fists raised in an empty ring.

Some nights I still miss the lightning, not the damage, just how awake it made me feel. But the loud was never love, and awake is not the same as at war. Nothing exploded, and nothing had to.
