Poetry: Silence

                                                               Silence




the silence spoke to me the other day
it sat with me in the empty grey spaces of my head
and asked why is your heart mourning
i stared back at my shadow
because i'm not worthy of love
it laughed back in amusement
but how do you know that
tears filled my eyes so full
that it overflowed through my mouth
because he left me
it then got up and embraced me with arms wide open
gently the mild monsoon breeze blowed
oh silly girl
can't you feel it
the peace this silence gives you
that he never once gave
