Silence

Sometimes,
When I feel like I’m all alone in this room that once felt small
I feel it.
That feeling of loneliness
Mixed with sadness.
It’s not hard to see what you meant to me with my feelings exposed
Like the empty space where you used to lay.

You know, you never were very loud
More the strong silent type.
But in this big empty room this
Silence.
Without you here is too loud because all I hear
Are the sounds of my tears and my heart as it aches
For MY
Strong silent one.
