Silence. . .
Are you here my love?
Or am I mistaking my pounding heartbeat for footsteps?
The silence takes over as I realize I am, in fact, alone.
Silence. . .
My eyes wander to places where I once saw your beautiful face,
only this time to find nothing but empty spaces where memories were once held.
Silence. . .
Have you finally returned my darling?
Or is my mind taunting me again with vivid images of your ever needed presence?
I hear you calling my name but when I cry out, all I hear is
Silence. . .
My heart beats as if it is trying to escape me,
am I insane or simply lonesome?
Perhaps they are one in the same, maintaining a constricting grip on my perception of reality and fiction.
Silence. . .
You'll have to excuse me,
for I grow weak from heartache and fear.
Drifting off to a deep sleep, I see your sweet face once more
trying with every fiber of my being to remain in this glorious state of bliss.
Silence. . .
My blissful sleep has become an amazing and eternal reality,
and now I see you standing before me forever with arms open wide, welcoming me in,
Nevermore to leave my side and to love me for all eternity.
And now it is I who has become Silent

My cousin passed away on the 6th of June and we were extremely close. As tragic as it was, it helped inspire me to write this poem.
