My world is

Silence...

My world is

Sitting here, spilling my heart to you, as you sit and watch me

Is it enough, I wonder? As I sit quietly, waiting, but hearing nothing

Love is the thing that changes the world, changes us, changes our reality

Easily you absorb my words, my emotions, but your face betrays nothing

No response, no reaction, no feelings behind those cold, blue eyes

Could you love me? Could my desire for you change you?

Ennui envelopes me, as my hopes die and my heart goes silent.
