Silence

Without you
This night is utterly long
Nothing but deep silence
That speaks your name


And repeats it softly
Again and again
Yet a burning candle in the corner
Burns me within as well


Without you tonight
Eyes weeps calmly
And heart mourns quietly


yet this night
Speaks nothing but silence.
