Silence

Why is the silence
Like a deafening roar
I still cringe when someone
Knocks on our door

I wait for your chorus 
Your lion like bark
But the silence is blinding
Like a nuke in the dark

I wake up to barking
And half asleep
I automatically go
Check outside for a creep

I wake in the night 
And sneak out of bed
So I don't disturb you
Then I remember your dead

Why would the world
Steal you like that
I couldn't tell you I loved you
And send you off with a pat

The world didn't deserve 
An angel like you
And wherever you are
I'll always love you my boo
