Unwelcomed Silence

In the long silence
Of night fall
I urge my heart not to cry,
As I push aside the haunting
Yesterdays shared by you and I...

Hush!
I cautioned the wind,
Do not whisper his name and
Then I prayed to be strong enough,
To laugh again when morning light
Comes and caresses my heart.

Nice poem. Just correct the typo in the fifth line of the second verse. It appears you have inadvertently typed a second "L" there.
