Silence

You lent me this borrowed beautiful boldness
With needed caresses exploring acres of skin
Still somehow I intended spite for words unsaid
So they loved me and took me home for feasts of
Laughter but those late hours brought something new
Like longing, an irretrievable instant of no return
A point of gradual collision, crash of blinding glass
Embedded in cardiac moments.

Then you crept up like gentle kisses along my spine
With skinny love of my bones, and you could
Always do it better until there is now now now
Nothing but silence, damning silence. And I don't know
Whether it is my body or my mind that is empty
Without you.



Music- Some fucker mowing the lawn far too loudly outside my window.
