I Too Have Silences

I Too Have Silences

I too have silences that cannot speak aloud,
I carry them in sighs, in thoughts, in silent eyes,
I let them breathe deep in my soul,
Born of sacred ache, carrying their own tremor.

I too have silences in days and nights,
I hold you in my mind.
I too have silences in days and nights,
I hold you in my mind.

I too have silences that watch from afar,
Under a sky that forgets to open its light,
I carry them in my chest like an old wound,
Grown from a corner of fate I never wished for.

I too have silences in days and nights,
I hold you in my mind.
I too have silences in days and nights,
I hold you in my mind.

I too have silences that seek no path,
I let them call me in nights without borders,
They wander through my mind and awaken memories,
And leave soft kisses upon my heart.

I too have silences in days and nights,
I hold you in my mind.
I too have silences in days and nights,
I hold you in my mind.

I too have silences that refuse to die,
They rewrite the same story, over and over,
These silences, untouched by forgetting,
Are they silences - or echoes of what we cannot let go?

I too have silences in days and nights,
I hold you in my mind.
I too have silences in days and nights,
I hold you in my mind.

I too have silences.
