Without An Answer

im without an answer
there is nothning to say 
the words that i speak
wont make it ok 
the maybe's are gone 
there is no more "ill change"
we just stare at eachother 
as if the other is strange 
the sillence is deep
there is no sound but our breathing
the air rushing in 
the the air quietly leaving
the ticks from the clock 
and its slow steady pace
brings a small little frown 
apon her lovely face
she then goes to speak
but changes her mind
the words on her lips 
but suddenly declined 
a chill in the room 
a quick frosty breeze
brings her arms from her side
and placed on her knees
i stand and i stretch
my body is aching
did she just smile 
or was i mistaken?
the dog rasies his head
then he jumps off the chair
as if all the tension
is to much to bare 
i guess this is it then
i guess we are now done 
the love has now vanished
like the soon setting sun
i walk to the door
with a tear in my eye
im to choked to speak
so i wisper goodbye 
i unlock the door
i just cannot beleive
and as i close it behind me 
she screams "please do not leave"

Nicely done Simon! I love the ending - it was quite unsuspected following the suspense.
