I hope this poem resonates with your readers and helps convey the deep emotional impact of the silent treatment while providing hope and strategies for overcoming it.

I sensed a chilly silence, heavy air around, And words lost a cruel design, My heart was imprisoned with a spirit confined.

There was a silent war and a battle unseen, My soul tormented a wounded scene.

Around in the air, I felt a passive war, and feelings were caged, I could see icy glances, a battle waged.

I saw the shadows deep where silence reigned, And weapons wielding causing pain.

What makes this game a silent ruse? With faded voices and heat confused.

Tactics are used to wound and harm, Leaving the poor victim with no balm.

It is a cruel intent a planned hurtful game, Leaving a wounded soul forever strained.

A toxic drama with an icy spell, Words unspoken start to dwell.

Silent treatment is a cruel tactic to bear alone, A tool to vent frustration and bring control of own.

Communication shifts, With folded relationships.

A silent storm delivered a mental fray, And feelings became toxic Day By Day.

The relationship grows weary a captive plight, Hearts lost in the darkness, devoid of light.

Wounds inflict on hearts and minds deep and lone, A constant battle unseen and unknown.

Dangers are hidden, and interaction opportunities are often missed, In relationships, the fog persists.

Understanding the silence and empathy lost, The souls bear a heavy cost.

All confrontations are set aside, Deep in the shadows of silence truth can hide.

When the drama of immaturity play, Silently somewhere in our hearts pain finds its way.

What happens when silence reigns? In the hearts and minds, the bitterness remains.

Communication in the relations breaks apart, With each mounting day tension grows in the brain and hatred in the heart.

Intimacy is lost like a distant moon, And disconnection in the relations follows soon.

In silence, mental health fade, And Fears and doubts in relations cascade.

As confidence grows weak and cold, A personality with damaged self-esteem takes hold.

One starts feeling worthless and left behind, In silent treatment hearts are confined.

Here are the strategies to break the chain, Ease your heart and cool the brain. Heal your wounds and ease your pain.

Take a deep breath, be honest at heart cool in mind initiate the conversation, and Let the truth reside. Be a little mature and open the door of communications wide.

In the conversations set the boundaries clarify your mental state, And leave the rest to GOD, what is acceptable in fate.

Take the support from those who care, In shared strength, find solace there.

Give importance to self-care and be kind, In your gentle act with care peace you will find.

Just focus on your brighter days, And let go of hopes to change the ways.

Your connections lost in the silent strife, Can surely be rebuilt to save your life.

Understand the unspoken words in the communications deep, In the kindness let the compassion seep.

For in the end, the power lies, in breaking free from the silent ties. To foster love, to heal, to mend. In open hearts and true strength, we lend.

Be brave to rise above the storms and find your way, Heal your wounds and seize your day.

In the light of empathy let's banish the night, fill the void with love's warm light.

Let love and respect in a relationship endure, Break the silence, and make a cure.

With open hearts and honest speech, Allow the healings and souls to beseech.
