Silence

The silence of our conversation
Is worse than anything you can say
And that fact that there's but silence between us
Is well to my dismay
I love you so much
Yet silence is the only thing I let escape
Silence draped over our conversations
Like a long, black cape
There is so much I want to tell you
But I know I wouldnt
And I want to scream at you
But I know I shouldnt
I know you want to say something too
Of this I am sure
But it is only so little
That you or I will endure
The few times we talk
I can hear it in you voice
I can her uncertainty
And the need to make a choice
I wish silence would leave
Once and for all
Then maybe we could have better communication
Perhaps even outside a phone call
And I try so hard
Just like I try to make this poem rhyme
But it just takes too much effort
And way too much time
But you can not expect me to let silence take over
And if you do you are very wrong
And if we continue like this
We will not be together long
And I bet thats what you want
