The silence grew louder, but it was not just mine. 

It was a shared one, not the ones that kept us at ease,

but the silence that drowned with the comfort we shared.

It was our moment, that fell in place with ease. Today,

this uncomfortable silence was the loudest that had ever been.

It was louder than the spoken thoughts, those endless months of pleasant exchanges.

Now those thoughts seemed uneven, it lacked our sync. The usual warm embrace

could no longer soften those wounds. What snatched away my shelter?

Not just in troubled times, but even in the moments of joy?

Even the buzzing crowd could no longer drown those silent cries. It seemed

To grow louder, till that was the only thing I could hear, the loudest my heart could beat.

But I no longer knew what you heard. Tell me, my love,

what did you hear, when my silence you could no longer hear?
