if silence could speak
then you would know
a mute and clumsy pause
speaks more than words
in those dumb times
I don’t know what to say
if I could utter words
I’d say I know your grief
I’d say I’ve felt that pain
I’ve felt that loneliness
I too lost everything
all that was my anything
and when you look at me
with brown and pensive eyes
and if you too could speak
you’d ask if that were true
