Silence

Silence



I want to hear your voice, though you seem so far away

I want to hear your answer, I want to hear you say it

I want to hear your laughter, I want to hear you cry

I want to hear you say you love me, that you loved me this whole time.



I want a restraining order, let them lock me in a cage

I want to hear your voice

I want to hear you say my name.



Though you seem so far away



I want to fill the silence

That is strangling our love

I’m going to enjoy this

Hear the words escape your tongue

Themselves a form of violence

That can never be undone

I want to fill the silence that is strangling our love



Though you seem so far away

So far away from me
