Silence

It's the unspoken that I fear

I cant believe he couldn't hear
the silence so grim and taunting.
Words were never there,
but in my ear,
screamed the awful, dreaded silence.

Speak to me anything at all.
Any old phrase would nicely do.
I fell for a man with a
severed tongue.
I love the boy
who is speechless.

Vocal communication is all that
is left between us now.
Our lascivious attraction is raging strong
but our romantic affection has been
slayed.
He would call my name
if his throat weren't so sore.
He would write me a letter
but his hand has gone numb.

He would speak to me
if he truly cared.
He wouldn't hide off alone in
a corner.
I can't believe he can stand this silence.
Perhaps he is deafened
by my words.
