There is a weight to the silence
that hangs between us now.
A gravity suspended on two breaths,
when all the past goes wanting
and I am left alone,
with you
but without you,
because trust has fallen to the floor
and language will not answer.
When all the things that I would say
are pulled under
by the drowning gulf between us,
and we are left to wait for
words
that will not come.
