It's so quiet now that
there are no more of your silly words to fill the silence

You always were so good with them
and they were always there
meaningful and meaningless
foolish and essential
nonsense, silly words that never failed

You said them so easily
as though they didn't stick to your tongue
So unlike me

"I love you....I need you....You'll miss me..."
Silly words

That soothed and aroused
that comforted and alarmed
It's so obvious now that they're gone
It didn't matter so much what they were
just that they were

Now there's nothing
nothing but silence
silence as cold as ashes

No more laughing
No more pleading
and no more loving

No more of your silly words
and no more of you with me

just like you used to say



If I don't say it...who will?

Good Morning, Star!

Your poetry is so refreshing! ~ even when it has sad undertones. It's lively and real and identifiable! You have your own style ~ and I like it!

That bloke's a joke with his silly words. You deserve much, much more than that, Sweetie!

Love & a warm hug and wishes for 2010 to bring you peace, prosperity ~ and true love!

Passing Shadows - thanks for reading!  Music, huh?  Lucky for me - I got a $50 Itunes card for Christmas ;0)
