_Silence_

Years ago when I felt
 the aura of aloneness that surrounded you, wrapped round 
you, the aloofness that defined everything about you in terms of distances, and 
the absence that flowed from your eyes, I knew it would all stab me one day.

Now, once again,
 the deepening silence that’s settling on you threatens to rip 
open the wounds we thought had healed… the nerves will not be able to take it…
