The Library

Silence overwhelms
                        the tears I have to cry
                        I hear your words -
                        but they seem to float so high
                        into the starless sky
                        while I defy years
                        that you never see
                        If I had only listened
                        to the silence in between
                        I wouldn't have to wonder
                        why the library seems
                        so eerie and quiet today
                        I wish I hadn't begged you to stay
                        Forgiving myself the first time
                        then yearning to erase the last...
                        why didn't I remember
                        Why couldn't I have learned
                        that summer and love
                        are the two constants
                        that never last
