Brian Kilpatrick Poet I do not know?

Until You Breathe My Name

I stop and listen 
But I can’t hear you 
I can smell your scent 
On my pillow 
But I can’t hear you 
If you would only race 
To my side 
And take this pain away 
I would be all right 
Tonight 
I just want another chance 
To hear your voice again 
But I can’t hear you 
The tears are in my eyes 
With no place left to go 
Because I can’t hear you 
Your footsteps echo 
Down the alleyway 
As I catch one more glance 
As your dress sways 
As you turn the corner 
But I can’t hear you 
I am screaming on the inside 
And I am having a meltdown 
On the outside 
Because I can’t hear you 
Just one word to let me know 
Just one word will get me through 
Until the next time  I see you 
Laying on my pillow 
And I hear you breathe my name
