What does silence feel like?
Silence feels like waiting at a train station at 3:00am.

What does silence look like?
Silence looks like seeing your dad walk out the door again.

What does silence taste like?
Silence tastes like cold leftovers from the night before.

But worst of all
Silence is seeing someone you love, with someone else.
Found this poem in my journal that I wrote a few months ago

I used to be afraid of the dark,
Walking down my hall way at night.
Trees howling, falling pieces of bark,
Couldn't go anywhere without turning on a light.

So last night I walked down the hallway
I didn't turn around when I heard a sound,
Because I felt safe knowing that you weren't far away,
I fell asleep, knowing finally, I have been found

I decided to write a poem about you,
To express my feelings,
But as I put pen to paper,
I realised I didn't know what to write,
So I started reminiscing memories,
The way you smile when you look at me,
It's the kind of look you only see once in a lifetime,
And now I realise I don't want to share any of our other memories
Because a smile of yours is enough
To write a whole poem about
I feel safe

I don't want to fall in love again,
Because I remember when he broke my heart,
I remember what time it was,
And I can't forget the way it took me 6 ******* months to move on,
I don't want to fall in love again,
Because it hurts thinking about kissing another,
He left my lips ripped and teared,
And they still aren't healed yet,
I don't want to fall in love again,
Because they say things your dad will never say,
And show you love from a man that you never knew,
I don't want to fall in love again,
Because when you look into his eyes,
You'll see pools of stories and fountains of memories that they won't reveal

And I don't want to fall in love again,
When he won't fall back in love with you

My favorite color
is the space between the stars
But blue has many shades
And so does darkness

My favorite food
tastes of summertime
barbeques and family fun
but iron as well

My favorite song
Reminds me not of love
Not of loss or pain
But of my own power

My favorite story
Is not a love story, in truth
but a tale of strength
Romance as a side story

My favorite person
Is not him, or you
Not mother or father or friend
But myself

She combed her hair with the night sky
& then let loose those bits of stray galaxy that had embedded themselves in the wisdom of her follicles.
I'm never one to get cold
Or get goosebumps
But with the subtlest touch
From her can make my hairs
Stand *****, send chills down my spine
And expel a sigh of relief.
That's the power of her love
So precise so Devine so powerful
That with the tip of her finger
Can make me feel all that at once.
