Silently Forgetting

Silence so loud

Shouting in my ears

A voice echoing

Around my mind

Rattling my brain

Your voice...

"Stupid! Stupid! Stupid!"

And my sore, swollen soul

And my black and blue heart

Aching, aching, aching

Silence now ringing

My ears still ringing,

Your rage still ringing,

Pain still ringing,

Emotions still ringing,

Tears still dripping

You stop,

You hold me

"Sorry, so so so

Sorry" for what you said.

And I begin...again

Forgiving, forgetting...

I'm always forgetting

Silence speaking softly

Early in the morning

Recalling the night...no

Justifying the night.

Silence that says

Being with you is

Always so much better

When you are sorry,

I always feel more loved

When you are sorry,

We are perfect

When you are sorry

And when I forget...
