Remember When

Living

in the shadow

of your

silence;

where

the only

sounds

are

whispers,

overheard.

Thinking

that your

hidden

in your

absence,

but the

quiet

is the

light

of

lack

of words.

Memories

of

the former

words

you’ve

spoken

echo

in my mind

and

I rehearse;

F o O t S t E p S

that cross

my heart,

now,

broken;

if only

you’d let

go

so we could

’verse.
