Rose Coloured Sawdust

Silence waited for me...
It was there when I turned the key
          and opened the door.
"Good morning," it whispered.
"Good morning," I replied.
Silence knew where I'd spent the night...
(Silence knew her name)
And Silence knew what I didn't:
That she and I would never be together again.
          "I missed you," Silence said,
          "It's nice to have you back...
          ...Back where you belong."
