Silence

Silence envelopes me as I sit in the dark, moonless night. The sky takes a sigh and the wind whispers in my ear. I can hear your voice ridding the wind, finding its way back to me. Days go by as I sit hear and cry silent tears on the inside. Waiting for you to return back to my side so that I may be happy once again. The nights trap my mind in a zone and wont let me escape. Being tortured with the happy memories I once had with you just tears me up inside. Just to think that we could still try. How long must I keep holding on to this person that I love? Searching day and night, just to go home empty handed. Each day I become weaker to the taunts that the nights throw my way. I don’t know how much longer I can hold on to a winged prayer. Hear my cries of sorrow and come back to these arms wide open. Because without you here by my side, I’m lost in a sea of nothingness.
