the silence

this house once
so filled
with laughter and love
or so i imagined
now feels cold
not just from the frost
outside but from
the sadness within
our unsympathetic stares
clinging and hoping
but erstwhile
denying the immediate
truth of love's diminishing
worth.
and, while the forecast's
uncertain, the storm
still looming breeds
a silence so fierce
the shelter i seek
is unattainable....
