Empty bed for two
Empty spot for a kitten
But no one comes home.
Dumpster diving for dreams!

Your need for power
Trumps the vows you spoke to me.
I stand defeated.

Beaten by silence,
But behind that wall lives rage.
Which one wounds me most?

The year of my silence,
I will be filled with wordless songs
And unspoken sonnets.
In the year of my silence,
Things broken will burn
And out of death and ash will things be born
In the year of my silence,
Devotion will cease to be offered to unavailable lips
And only love will learn to spill from these neglected veins.
In the year of my silence.
.Silence.
