"In the silence
Fear grips me tight, for in your silence I find,
........................................................................

Will you leave, or simply drift away?
Or become someone else, come what may?
Your silence speaks louder than words,
A silence that's aching, where anguish girds.

Do I fear your hate, or your distance ?
Or the thought of you finding new ways?
Perhaps I fear being forgotten, left to rue,
Or worse, realizing my worth to you is through.

Your rejection, a dagger to my soul,
Leaves me shattered, no longer whole.
Alone I stand, in this silent sea,
Wondering if I'll ever again be free."
