Silence
Whenever I'm with you,
I don't hear our clothing fall.
nor the change in our breath,
or the neighbors down the hall.
There is no sound in between us
the heat then speaks instead
it dances with us, back and forth
leaving sentences in sweat.
I have never heard hesitance,
or shame when we are close.
I hear nothing but the sweet nothings
that we already know
So to me we lay in silence,
which is strange to all but us
but our true love is deafening
if you listen hard enough.
