Voice

You must ring the phone
But the honor is all yours
My voice answers to greet silence.

I can't ask what it takes to say hello
-from the beginning I must have slammed the door
  scaring all your guts and honor down the hunted drains.

I can only blame myself for our lack of communication.

And I think, would silence have urged your voice forward
-holding my pulse in your throat.

Maybe the outcome would be the same -- we are just not ready this life around.  Maybe one day we can call on each other as friends, or company of the silent delight.
