Silence-
Except fo the occasional slosh
Made when the tires go through
Day Old puddles

Silence-
Except for the sound of her tears
She weeps-for the one She loves
For fear of his anger and fear She will
Never see him again.

She weeps-for the feelings She is afraid of
She weeps-for herself-
Because She swore she would never feel this
AGAIN.

She weeps-for the heartache She knows
She must bear-
If She is to keep this love.

She weeps-for he knows not how she feels-
And She is afraid to speak it.

She weeps-for She knows not how he feels-
Yet cries, because She does.

Tears-like rain-puddle-
She travels on-farther-
Back to the stars from where
She came.
