A hunger for your words

Your words are beautiful

They profess your love for me

Your words are funny

They make me laugh four hours on end

Your words are comforting

They sooth me when the pain seems unbearable

Your words are undesirable

They get in the way of my favorite videogame

Your words are undiscernible

I fail to hear them well over the noise of the radio

Your words are selfish

They don’t leave any room for my own words

Your words are sharp

They reveal truths I don’t want to face

You words are dangerous

They cut me down and leave me naked

Your words are hurtful

They leave my soul numb and scarred

But your silence… your silence is irreparable

An empty house falling apart

Your silence is darkness

A void within a void within a void within…

Your silence is death

An existence left to rot

Your silence is a nightmare

From which I yearn to wake up

To the sweet melody of your words

Because however shape they’d come

As I lie deaf in a moribund state

Your words would be the only cure to this fatal silence of yours

Sing me a song to wake me up...
