Had he lost his voice?
Not completely
For still I could hear
What he needed to say
Was clear.
His look disperse
Mine so direct.
I was assertive
Shy his mess.
I thought we had thought
A bliss had been born
Instead, a deep pain.
What failed?
Showing him my weakness
Or my strength?

Even when one loses their voice, I continue to hear--and listen--for the eyes speak so much more loud than words.
Often my weakness becomes--IS--my strength, one and same--all is me. I perceive no "Dulce Duality" here.
Even 'failure' is another step towards the goal. And 'pain' is before 'gain'...every time.
Another good one, well-thought and well-written, Dulce-Girl!
you know relationships can be a guessing game...some men are scared of women with strength others dont like to play cat n mouse...agree with steve on failure being movement toward the goal...
depending on the strenght of the relationship, Dear Dulce. A find that a weak relationship, those not meant to be around long cannot be shown weaknesses for they take advantage of them or strenghts because it scares them.
An intriguing poem capturing the dynamics of a relationship. I like the questions at the end...very nice ~
Liked this…. How can one deal, when the other lacks a voice?
I especially like your choice of images. This one adds so much to your words.

think a good relationship should be able to carry both...weakness and strength of both the partners..if you have to fake it just doesn't get easier..just my two cents...
I dont know if that was your intention but I see a gender issue portrayed. The woman is direct, with no doubts and no hesitations. A woman like this, scares many men as Brian said. But she considers that this stregnth is something good, a bliss, a reason why both members of the partner should be happy. Instead, he is not able to see this, he feels he has lost his voice, mistaking the lost of his voice, with the lost of his control over her
