The drum of your silence beats so loud <br />Its music I still can’t figure out <br />It is to my ears the sounds of unending wars <br />And to my heart the piercing of a thousand swords <br />Woe betide me for not having to hear your voice <br />Those gentle words that are to my ears healing oil <br />Would not it be better I died in wars than live and not hear you speak <br />For not even love songs from a million friends can replace what it brings <br />Speak out my love for my soul perishes slowly <br />Nothing matters to it now than t hear you talking <br />Speak out my love for I am no longer living <br />Whisper to me for this silence is killing me<br /><br />Stewart Gideon<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/this-silence-is-killing-me/
