the silence

It was not 
a woman’s gaze
that turned me
to stone

Was not
the temperature
that turned my
blood cold

And it was not
a cloudy day
that caused me 
to hang my head

It was the lack
of cause
that brought me
to my knees

It was the wind
empty as it came
and solemn as
it left
with no trace

It was 
the silence
that deafened me
and drowned out
all else around
