In the Still Silence
In the still silence I feel you breathing but you aren’t with me.
I feel you holding me and you aren’t even next to me.
I catch you staring at me but you haven’t even talked to me for weeks.
In the still of the silence I lose my mind.
I am wrapped up in delusion and tucked away with denial.
Where are you? Where am I without you? Why am I without you? How am I without you?
I cannot be without you.
But here in the stillness I lay awake, undeniably, disagreeably, silently without you.
