I Know Two Silences

A scribble as I journal through rough waters.

I know a silence you created,

A static popping in the air,

Of bodies in a shared space

and the words that should be there.

I know a silence that came later,

After the day you packed your things,

A silence that invades each corner now,

Since we've removed our rings.

I know a silence painful,

a yearning never met,

of feelings never spoken,

of a love that remains a debt.

I know a silence this day,

That rests gently in the air.

But despite the silence differences

Both are impossible to bear.
