Did you say something?
Something that I heard
Or something I wanted to listen
Or something you never intended
To utter
Your silence pierced me
With words
I feel most uncomfortable with
From the moment dawn breaks
Till the time dusk
Sweeps me to
The chambers
I reluctantly retire to
For the night
That falls carrying all those lonely stars
At my feet
Waiting for another dawn…
