By Not Telling



There is the sound of you not here that is

Silence the ringing of the empty bell

Heart made of only ache anymore now

You are gone and half of me is no more

There silence the heart you there silence made

Sound ringing only gone and half of me

Not here that empty bell now no more there

Only ache my heart only ache my heart

That is silence empty bell my heart now

Ringing silence ache anymore only

You not here that is half of me of you

Sound of not here that is gone only ache

No more is half of me if gone are you

Bell empty the ringing of the silence

Now anymore ache only made of heart

Is there not you sound there is there

Only ache my heart only ache my heart

I woke and you were gone to another

Nightmare sweat instilled this thought inside me

Yet the curve of blanket betrays the lie

My heart not empty yet still filled with love

Of you my love for you I give thanks God

For you are still here your breath ringing clear

Breaks the silence that would otherwise be

Truly my heart beats soley by your leave

And poor I would not have it otherwise

For to lose you surely is to die

A provocative taste of your yeaning?

"I woke and you were gone to another

Nightmare sweat instilled this thought inside me

Yet the curve of blanket betrays the lie ".

What a profound placement of words. I love it.
