there is a silence
that seems to be louder
than any sound
known to man.
there is a smile
that is so broken
and tangled with fear,
that it is sharper than
shards of broken glass.
there is an ache
in the hearts of both of us.
a yearning for
someone who is not either of us.
there is a moment
when your world
comes crashing down on your mind.
in the stillness of the night,
the pain creeps into your heart
and reminds you,
that it will never go away.
there is a strange desire
in each and every one of us
that just wants to be loved.
that just wants to be held
and called in the middle of the night,
and for the person with
words of honey dripping down
from their soft rose lips
to love them
just as much as they love
them.
