Silent Goodbye
Her tears fall slowly
Weaving their way
Gently down her cheeks
They fall toward
Her lover’s lips
As he shares her pain
In this placid embrace
They hold each other
But say nothing
Each knows
That here in this room
More than skin is bared
More than love is shared
A heartfelt goodbye breaks

That here in this room
More than skin is bared
More than love is shared
A heartfelt goodbye breaks
Upon each in tandem
Pain in his eyes swims
His breath ragged and long
Blown into the fall of her hair
He pulls her closer
Her lips tremble
His breath is uneven
And her lips
In quiet response
Interlock with his
