Love Poem: The Loud Silence

The Loud Silence

Every night on the same bed
We continue to sleep in the same position
I wonder what killed the spark of our passion
You promised me forever 
Five years down the line everything seems to be dead
We are of no doubt together 
But no longer in love but in silence 
The screaming silence generated by you
You promised to say it every day even in my absence 
But I cannot remember the last time you said "I Love You"
When you promise to stay by my side 
I forgot to ask...
Did you mean in silence?
