Silence Poem by Javier Falcon

I find you awake next to me,
you murmur the words, 'I'm sorry, '
as a tear runs down your cheek.

You give me a hug, as I get chills,
you ask me for a kiss, which tastes sour
and all I do is hold my breath.

Yet I want you to hold a second,
want to get this all clear,
tell me it is not all true.

Just stay silent for a few minutes,
let me give you my last good byes,
as I seal my feelings and go away.

As fear runs through my veins,
I really do not understand,
what I must of have done wrong.

Even so I know I am doing the right thing,
you could of fixed this all by yourself,
by remaining silent and not speaking.

Yet you spoke of your sins,
letting the air from my lungs escape me,
as my soul and yours ripped apart.

Completely untying the knot of our passion,
making everything you say so worthless,
even the last words I heard, 'I love you.'
