My Silence

I am quiet when you are near.
I scream when your away.
I grab your hand, and pull you close.
And say don’t go away.
Silence fills my ears
As the tears fill my eyes.
Silence takes me, wrapping me.
Darkening my skies.
Want me, need me.
I’m sick of all the lies.
Love me, hold me.
Listen to my cries
I want someone to know, someone to understand.
That even I don’t realize the heart within this man.
It beats a thousand beats, and I breathe a million times.
Trying hard to figure out, how to put my love into rhyme.
I say it weird, it comes out wrong.
I really don’t understand.
All I know is how I feel, when I hold your hand.
My silence clears, I can hear.
And all my fears disappear.
Love is magical, this I know
But only when it’s true.
So now I say I am glad.
That there is me and you.
