Silence

I've left behind so many people,

Moved on,

Lost touch,

Not really bothered,

Some would say,

An occasional bitch,

Who cared,

Just not enough.

Until you.

I've tried so many times

To get my head around

Your silence,

It kills,

In the middle of hysteria,

Work,

A modern world,

I reach for your words,

But they are old now,

And belong to a different life.

I miss you,

But wonʼt ask how you are.

You brought light,

To a dark heart,

I miss you,

But I wonʼt ask how you are.

So close once,

Now worlds apart,

I miss you,

I wonʼt ask how you are.

I loved you,

But I won't ask how you are.
