Silent Noise

I wish I could fill the silence.
I wish there was more to say.
I wish it wasn’t different since.
I don’t know the way to trust
And I’m sure you can’t see past the deception.
Look in my eyes and let me see love.
Look in my eyes and let me see hatred.
Look at my hands and see how they shake.
Look at my hands and see how they crawl towards yours.
Look at my mouth and see how the lines are stretched.
Look at my mouth and see the fake smile, no dimples.
Look at my forehead and see the creases.
Look at my forehead and see the thoughts behind it.
Silence rakes at my eardrums. It fills them with nothing.
I need your voice to consume me.
I need your smile to fulfill me.
I need your eyes to see me.
I need your hands to hold me.
I need to fill the silence with a new love rebuilt.
I need to fill the silence with a new smile full tilt.
I need to fill the silence with new hands
I’m wilting without you.
I need to fill the silence with the thoughts behind your forehead.
I need to fill the silence with the brush of your fingers, accidental.
I need to fill the silence.
The silent noise, unheard, is shattering.
