Turn away
The silence is better
Than when I held you in my arms
The thunder of your beating heart
With mine
Echoes
In my hollow chest
A bass drum
Without a beat
With you in another’s arms
Turn away
The silence is better

This is for a dVerse prompt: Write a quadrille (a poem of EXACTLY 44 words, not including the title) AND include the word “silence” or a form of the word within the body of the poem. A synonym for silence does not fulfill the prompt. It must be the word, or a form of the word. I hope you enjoy! 😊
