Speak No Evil

Even in each other’s company,
I welcome these moments of silence.

Although no words are spoken,
I can still hear your heart beat
And it tells me everything I need to know.

Like thunder
Warning of the coming storm.

It’s rhythm a tune
I know all too well
And have danced in step
For many a night.

So please, speak no evil unto me.

Say nothing at all.

Let me bask in our silence
For a little while longer
And enjoy the sound
Your heart makes

One last time

After that, I will willingly embrace
The stillness.

You’ll have peace
And I’ll have quiet
