Between the Silence

Always willing to impart knowledge
Subtle hints of bigger warnings
Never the last to tell me what's missing
Always the first to remind me I'm able

Between the lines
I write my intentions clearly
Between my pages
Leave solutions to pacify

For all the things you observe in me
The most cherished go unspoken
For all the things I search for in you
None of them go without apprehension

Between the sheets
A litany of failures remind
Between your stars
Promises of future appeasement

The exits have always been clearly marked
Accommodating the weak of heart
I'm not ready to leave this solitude
Chances are it will break me apart

Between the silence
Voices speak the loudest
Between our hearts
Truths really do set us free
