Silence

Love only loves once

Never frets, nor intends harm

Man gives thee such a bad name

Without you tears stream down his face effortlessly

Man hath no shame

Yet he needs you for his fame

only in your presence he remembers you

in your abscence his house reeks of an eerie silence


Fight only if its worthy

With her in you, you are without doubt, trustworthy

Moves with you without question

Cries even when you dont

She knows your pain

She knows when you are slain

Her warm embrace speaks volumes, be wise and listen

All this she does in silence

Fight not with her but for her

Reconcile and she commits wholeheartedly

Always without a complaint

Unfortunately man sees not her and her goodwill

Bitter-sweet is her abscence’s after taste

Leaves them almost inhuman

Fear engulfs their innermost being in her abscence

What follows for all man is silence

Only desires to be one with thee

Desires to set thee free

Enslaving and imprisoning of man are not her speciality

In her embrace there is all one seeks

Yet she never utters a word

She wont leave even when you force her to

Her name; not an issue

She is always there by the sidelines

Patiently waiting and watching in silence.
