John O'Brien Poet Free verse

What Does Silence Say

Silence from me was your request.

So, my silence says I love you. No more, no less.

As for me, I’d love to hear 
your hopes and your dreams, whatever you hold dear.

So what does your silence say?

I’m OK?
Just go away?
We'll talk another day?
Can't find the words today?
You'd never understand me anyway?

So loved one, 

What does your silence say?
