The Silence

Waiting
Unsaid words linger in the air
Clinging to the unknown,
Grasping for release
Envy
I long to resemble the invisible
To be the outsider-
For once, then
Finally
You speak aloud the words assumed
Cutting through the night
Wounding my heart
Yet
I know you’re in the right
Our problems have elevated
High beyond reach
Still
I can’t seem to let go
Something keeps me connected
Cant get free
Convinced
We’re living art displayed for all
But only we understand
The real meaning
Now
I wait in the silence again
Pretending to be okay
You know better
Please
Say everything will be just fine
“You’ll always be mine”
Stuck in my head
Remember
We were lost in the illusions
That nothing else mattered
Reality took over
Life
Flooded our dreams
Drowned our love
Stole every ounce of what we had
Now all that’s left,
All that we have to call ours,
Is lost in
the silence
