Sherrelle Speaks

Untitled #6 (Sitting in silence)

I sit in silence wondering where you are

Are you okay?

Did you arrive at your destination safely

Wild thoughts race of all the things

That could have went wrong today

Of all the things that could be found

Truth was nowhere in sight

My tears you maw on between your gum and cheek

Loving Lies and Cold alibis

Sitting here in silence wondering where you are

Stewing while the outside dies

My tears at night you pretend no see

The sounds of my heart breaking

Echo between the sheets

But your attention I still seek

Though my love for you is different

My feelings of inadequacies are same

Talking to you gets me no ...
