Where, Silence

When songs would play, You would serenade Your gaze, found me in a tempered state Mellow, at ease always, a pleasant state Forgive the things I never said out loud They have become empty shades as dark As the sky above Petals of flowers fall like leaves, Weightless effortless... Moments of time spent in endless bliss Where the soft side of me laid its hand in yours, forever safe. I dreamt of moments where tears are never ending, where screams at the ceiling And lying on the floor become only dotted I’s. A period of time I tumbled into. I dream of your smile, and the way you sang How the sound of your voice would hold my anxiety of bones still. Silence is no longer a curse, but a granted blessing for in it is Where we meet, talking of dreams, speaking of love as if it were free Silence is where you are alive, a place I cling to, but not allowing myself to Stay stagnant in, struggling to be free Silence is us, with endless possibilities, Silence is where I prayed for you Where I Loved you Silence is darkness that holds this damaged soul captive Where two friends are forever in company
