The Way Silence Rings
I don’t write as
much as I used to,
but I’m thinking
more in depth
about that night and what
happened, how it all went
I felt the heat
under my feet,
but I couldn’t stop the
tightness under my skin
in my chest, I felt
that you were nervous,
I then realized, you’re a
different kind of essence,
one with two sides,
fearing of love and hate
two of the most
powerful emotions,
let the bottle
finally break
when you’re a writer,
you remember everything
every detail, every visual,
the way that silence rings
we were in the mountains and
the sky turned into lavender
your side profile looks so beautiful
while you’re sitting in the passenger
you tried to trip me over
the rocks on the seashore,
we went back to my car afterwards
and played a game of thumb war
I told you about how I'd
like to be remembered,
you didn’t say much, but I knew
you weren’t as quiet on the inside
although we didn't get very far,
I can say that I did enjoy the ride
