The biggest punishment

Torturous silence that envelopes my thoughts and clings at me like barbed wire, scratching my soul. I have shown how stubborn and impatient I can be, raised my fur in a tantrumy look and I got punished with silence. All seems lost and dead in silence. While everything was joy in the happy exchange. Wondering if I actually deserve this punishment. Wondering if I was wrong in my tail-waggling joy in the first place.
