Afraid to Pierce the Silence

Your words were quiet and slow,

each chosen with tender care,

each measured and thought out.

The soft tone may have lulled me into sleep,

had I not been captivated by their meaning.

You speak verse

encompassing torment and all things good in the world.

You speak as though you're afraid to pierce the silence

and I remain silent because I'm afraid to break the velvety pulse of your poetry.
