HUSH

In the anguished depths of turmoil
When for a breath of peace
I craved
Your silence wrapped around my heart
The heartless world dispensing pain 

I forgave.

When the clamouring noises in my ears
Deafened, I threatened to explode
I found
The silence a much needed sanctuary
Healing balm for my heart and soul
Its wounds.

I glide into the tranquil light of truth
Shedding your pretentious love
A masquerade
I befriended the silence, it morphed
A haven where my dreams still live
You stayed.
