Silence

Whenever I'm with you,

I don't hear our clothing fall.

nor the change in our breath,

or the neighbors down the hall.

 

There is no sound in between us

the heat then speaks instead

it dances with us, back and forth

leaving sentences in sweat.

 

I have never heard hesitance,

or shame when we are close.

I hear nothing but the sweet nothings

that we already know

 

So to me we lay in silence,

which is strange to all but us

but our true love is deafening

if you listen hard enough.
