Being Silent Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Sorrow drenching me in tears, missing you completely,
being silent, not wanting to talk anymore, for you're
no longer here to tell me how much you love me anymore.

No longer being held closely, no more kisses to be had,
life has become a lifeless flower, no longer having any
essence.

Existing alone in an atmosphere of desire with no one to
want or quench it, somewhere deep inside, missing you so
entirely.

Wanting to be with you through moments of life, that's
all, nothing more to say, nothing of importance for
there is no longer anything in this life.

As I drift about, not wanting to dally behind while you
go on without me, striving to continue living in this
total void of emptiness.
