you know that
in the quiet when everyone has left you
the dogs, the kids, the cats, no noise from the street
no partner to share the loneliness of who you are
you don't need a partner to be whole
you know that
in the quiet when you have left you
clear the thoughts
clear the heaviness of the air
holding to yourself
in the quiet when you feel
blood through your skin
the ring of time buzzing in your ear
the only sound to tell you that you live
in the quiet when you hold only yourself
the touch of a hand from a love
to break the silence
but lastly silence of the quiet is all that prevails
