the silence

silence says everything
we don't have words to say.
the look
the gaze, the distant
stare
of another time speaks
clearly.
clearer than any spoken
words.
the absence of touch,
the distance of lips,
the emptiness
is beyond belief.
a grind of days that
turn into weeks,
then months.
soon we will disappear
from one another.
like lights fading
in the fog.
driving slowly away.
