Silence

I ask you something simple,
You just stare
And frown.
Has our relationship eroded
To the point of no return?

I wait with patient silence
You just stare
And stare.
I am stubborn and single-minded,
I won't save you this time
Rest under your narrow blanket.

I am tempted to intervene
You are plainly uncomfortable
And withdrawn.
Do I set a difficult precedent
Or play your game?
