Your silence is the sound I hear

Upon waking

An absence that brings me to my knees

A touch forever missing from my skin

Becomes searing

The winter took everything

Above me, black stars

Away from everything

Within me, black stars

Your silence is the sound I hear

Upon waking

An absence that brings me to my knees

Your gentle voice once soft as sin

Quiet now, for eternity

And with the memories I sail the tide of time

On this last journey which binds us all

Now I seek the winter’s kiss

To set me free

Free of everything
