Absurd

The silence is deafening.
I pray for sound.
Although we don't speak
noises flow all around.

As we lay together,
your arms around mine
I keep wondering-
What if it were another time?

If we had met
a week before,
would things be different?
Could I give anymore?

To take away your pain
I would give my world.
I wish to make you smile,
if only I could.

I hope to whole
or even just enough
for you to love
for you to trust.

Instead we lay in the quiet,
neither speaking a word.
This situation we're in
seems so absurd.
