Silenced Hearts

He meant to say ‘I love you’ ,
But keeps it to ‘goodnight’,
His eyes say all he needs to,
His lips sealed up tight.

 

He looks at me tear filled,
Hoping I would understand.
His choices are not easy,
He has to take this stand.

 

In his eyes I see the planet,
In his smile shines the sun.
His fingers in cafune,
Through a meadow full of fun.

 

His touch makes me tingle,
His gaze makes me hurl.
Like a little girl in slumber,
Into his arms I curl.

 

His heart lies in my chambers,
But his feet have to walk away,
He stops and smiles one last time,
As we smother the yearns today.

 

Without him by my bedside,
The sheets feel too cold.
Is this how it will be,
Even when we grow old?

 

Life has taught us this much,
Doesn’t matter if we live apart.
What matters most is truly,
The twining of our hearts.

 

We barely get a minute,
As days and weeks go by.
We cherish the words unspoken,
Somewhere eye to eye.

 

If life is ever kinder,
We hope and pray each day,
For a day when our laughter,
Forms our little lullaby.
