Long Silence

the long silence that punctuate 
our conversations recently 
have had me hanging on a thin thread, 
swinging like a pendulum 
between taunting oblivion and eternity 
the memories of the yore 
flicker periodically at a distance 
beckoning my weak limbs to 
take one step - just one step 
a step closer to your embrace
I take hazy and unsteady steps 
swinging between wanting to you, 
and wanting to forget you 
but then I hear your voice 
and the thread snaps on the side 
that has me wanting you - 
the side that I am familiar with 
the side where silence 
reveals the deepest thoughts inside us 
and reveals our deepest secrets 
I remain hopeful that this silence 
will never lose meaning 
for I wouldn't know what to do
