Poem:
The Essence of My Being



You....

You went away because you mistook my silence for indifference,
But, silence my dear...is the language of my heart!

I love you for anything that surrounds you,
I love you the way what you want me to be,
I love you for everything within me,
But, why my dear?.....you left me...alone....

Alone, in my heart that nobody can replace my love for you,
Alone, feeling the emptiness that surrounds all over me,
Alone, to love without you....my dear...
But, why my love? why?

Silence, which makes you think differently,
Silence, that my heart alone can suffice to say,
Silence, engulfs me whenever I need you,
But, silence my love...is the language of my heart.

You...left without a word,
You...perish without a trace,
You...are the only one that I love,
You...are within my being....

Until the end of time...you...

Did she come back? I'm reading your poems in reverse....from top to my first comments. I hope that the one you love returns. Speaking with poetry from the heart helps. I hope she returned, quickly. Love, Dane
