SILENCE

SILENCE

Just an awesome word

Silence

Is what I need so desperately in my world!

Hush the sounds in my head

Hush the sounds from this world

Hush the sounds from you!

Yes you!

Your ranting and raving

For your selfish craving

Craving for my space and time

Yet you won’t let me in yours

You want to keep going backwards

Instead of forwards

How can a love survive on that basis?

I cannot wait any longer

It is time for my space and time

My heart is breaking

But I must be forsaking

I’ll miss you

I’ll miss the hoping

Hoping that you’ll hear for the last time

But you just shrugged your shoulders

Like you had great huge boulders

I cannot wait

The waiting the anticipation

The dithering the wondering

I can no longer be your backwards woman

It does not work like that any more

You’ll keep finding out why

Or will you?

I know I will and do

Goodbye my love

This is the end of this story

With no glory
