Gone

One minute of silence
That cuts through the
Eternity of noises
Has commanded time to cease breathing
And has blown up my life.

An eternity of noises
My words, her words, their words
All the worlds collided, careening to the
Cliff of bigotry
Then everything stood still…………

As the bitter pill of truth dawn on me
You are packing your things to flee
I wanted to stop you but did not
I even dared you not to come back.

That one minute of eternal silence
So excruciatingly long but so unenduring fast
One minute of clarity and confusion blowing my mind.
No other minute to get rid of my pride.

Now emptiness is my companion
Fleeting noises of silence
Eternal silence of noises
I am empty without her.
