NEW SILENCE
Silence thick to impede forward motion
Feelings of sadness that cling
Shoulders bent with depressing emotion
No wonder my heart can no longer sing!
Silence is more than the absence of sound
When two people choose not to speak
Manners, courtesy, cannot be found
An hour, a day, then, finally, a week
Lonely is different than being alone
When spaces are shared by a pair
No one to greet when arriving at home
No chit-chat is given, nothing to share.
