I've had relationshiips end but love never dies in my heart so an ended relationship takes on deathlike qualities in my experience. A moment of silence is often taken when a loved one dies. The person is gone but the love never is..much like the love that lingers after the relationship is gone.

SILENCE
copyright 2004 Karen J. Layer
He said "I'm leaving little girl"
He said "There's nothing left to say"
My cries pierced through his air
Spilled tears and words to make him stay
He said "It's no use little girl
Your talk won't make me stay
No words will make a difference"
Then he turned and walked away
Turned and walked away
Need one moment of silence
For my heart that died today
And for the one who doesn't love me
For the man that went away
One moment of silence
One moment of silence
While I bow my head and pray
I know I'll live
If you'll just give me
One moment
One moment of silence
(whispered)
"Hush"
(lose instruments except for methodic bongo drum beat)
Said "Hush now"
This little girl's wounds still run deep
Though all the years have passed away
Doesn't matter what I do
Never matters what I say
It doesn't matter little girl
It doesn't matter little girl
None of my talk could make him stay
Words couldn't make a difference
Looked right through me, walked away
He walked away
Walked away
Still need one moment of silence
For my heart that died that day
For the one who couldn't love me
For the man that went away
One moment of silence
One moment of silence
While I bow my head and pray
I know I'll live
If you'll just give me
One moment
One moment of silence
(whispered)
"Hush"
(lose instruments except for methodic bongo drum beat)
Said "Hush now"
"Hush"
