So quiet

SO QUIET

it makes the warm heart cold,
so still, it freezes all around
creating a blanket of fog through which
one cannot see shapes, objects or what is hidden beneath
while I am desperately searching,
looking for the one I love
to have dropped just a small word to me
but to no avail she is not there, will she ever be.

Be still my heart, do not cry out,
do not let your emotions show aloud,
hide them well inside of you
sad, lonely without further word of your love
for she is very busy doing other things
that concern you not.

So for now bid her farewell
straighten up, do not bend your head
for tomorrow will soon come and then,
perhaps just then, your beloved
might write to you and send you
that kind word, tinged with love
you have been so patiently waiting for.
