Your Silence
Your words wound me deeply,
But your silence hurts even more
I stared at your reflection
When you said ‘whatever’
Darling, I’d never forget those words
They lingered behind
Like the sweet-sour taste of a citrus
But I’d always have you as breakfast
I love Citrus
I love Pineapple
I always knew, I’ll fight for you
I text you at 3am, but you never reply
I text you at 4am
At 5am…At every am and pm
Your silence bothered my soul
I couldn’t cry no more
I yearned for a ‘Hi’
I yearned for your voice, the lullaby that sends me to a peaceful slumber
I yearned for your smile, as glassy as the galaxy
That makes my life starry, a beautiful smile in the sky
You’ve gone far away
I can’t see your eyes
My daily bread
And breath
My sweet lemonade
Oh, beloved!
Your silence makes me weak!
