Sudden Silence
beating, crushing Silence
heavy, pressing Silence
   loud, deafening Silence!
Sudden Silence.

Silent beats my heart
suffering our first night apart.
Oh! Wretched Silence.

Then Screams!
cries,
pleas,
PLEASE!
promises confessed aloud
if only dreams were allowed.

restless, vertigo silence
assaulting, murderous silence.
Oh that you were here
that I could once again hear!

alas, silent beats my heart,
suffering
our first night apart.
