Your Silence

I wait in your silence
Afraid to speak
For I may cause
You to freak.

I wait in your silence
For you to talk
But you don’t seem
Willing at all.

I wait in your silence
With a painful heart
Expecting soothing words,
Instead get words that are tart.

I wait in your silence
With a heart full of love
Expecting you to return all that
That represents a dove.

For love has no laws,
I wait in that silence of yours.
