silence 
silence was the last word we spoke 
it filled the air heavy with forevers 
and the failing smells of yesterday 
"this wasn't my intention..." is now a haunting... 
the ghost of whispering thoughts 
i've bled these nights dry with tears 
so, here's to sleepless cold and dreams of insecurity 
and like before, i'm left with silence
and the sound of a heart breaking 
it's pieces crumble to the floor 
promise falls quiet between stillness and silence 
i hear your voice say, "my child, i will pick up the pieces." 
promise falls quiet between stillness and silence
