"...nothing."

You look on and see me
watching you
wondering when your lips
will part and speak
to me.
When days turn to weeks
I wonder
what you will say
once you speak and say…
When weeks turn to months
I faze
but ask no questions
and long for some words,
any word,
still… when months turn to years
I look on and see you
watching me
and I hear…

         …nothing.
