a silent tear
sitting a far
sighing
crying
knowing
that speaking
would be
breaking
all the rules
that i formed
to save myself
to heal my
hurting
to ease the
longing

a silent scream
of pain
and loss
and sadness
knowing
that the love
we try
to kill
does not die
love
only dies
when it loses
life

a living dream
that haunts
my sleep
the only place
i still see
you gazing
from a far
at me

so far now
from the dream
we lived
dreamers, though
always dream

a quick close
of the eyes
for a moment
i return
my heart opens
and then my eyes
and then
we finally die

but all it takes
is a quick shut eye
and there
we are
alive

i cry.
