Accepting the Cacophony of Our Silence

And all I can hear is nothing

I matched your energy
and now all I hear is silence
And all I feel is vacancy
since I shelved my disappointment and your reticence

We’re so silent I can hear the hummingbirds buzz
in the trees in daylight
I can hear the chirping of crickets
in…
