Swooned unto the point of falling into
And losing myself in her masquerade
Living dream of a deeper shade of blue
But wounded upon her silence this day

The eyes closed drifting thoughts sweetly slumber
Bury me in her words that are like deeds
The seconds fading, know not their number
Like breathing, she is the one thing I need

The mortal wounds cut a deep swath of pain
For her silence wrought is too much to bear
The flesh is weak and flesh cannot contain
The pain of memory that we both share

Because we live sharing last, final breaths
We die once, yet love dies a thousand deaths

I've read many poems of silence's power... even tried to write a few. *S* But you've penned it perfectly... sad but beautiful write!
