The Silence

by Amber "V" Moonstone

12/12/08

I face the window to the street
You sip your coffee
I see your hands shaking

We are speechless
filled with remorse wondering
where all those years went.

The silence that lives among
our lives penetrates my soul
leaving me speechless.

I live in a world of pain and solitude
Where you can no longer hear my voice
For pain has over taken your existence.

We remain cold and distant
without any hope
or love for our future.

You were once my true love,
now, silence,
has come between us.

We cannot speak of the evil
that has entered our life.
Time has paid a price.

You are soon to be leaving this world,
it is only a matter of a few weeks.
I cannot bear this agony.

The tumor has grown,
it has affected your speech and hearing,
You cry out, but I cannot hear you.

I try to tell you that your
fears and cries
do not go unheard,

They stab my heart
like a well aimed knife,
cutting at my soul each day.

As each day draws you nearer to death,
I stay silent because,
I do not know how to live without you!
