My Silence Surprises People

It was the darkest night I had ever seen The stars looked like jewels in princess’s crown The cool breeze stroked the leaves, making noise Moths hovered around candle light wildly My arm around her back holding her tenderly I was scared to look into her eyes praying to God, fearing the worse she turned her face towards me She looked into my eyes, her gaze distant She remained silent till I freaked Silent tears rolled off of her eyes Tear drops on her face looked like dew on tulip Petal In this awful silence I felt like dying many times "I am leaving you", said she at last Forgive me please, she sobbed I couldn’t speak She got up and stepped away slowly I couldn’t say a word to stop her In love, time comes when nothing makes a difference
