The L is silent

Quiet
For an inbox
Dreaming 
But what of sleep? 
Still
Quiet

I would write you
With you spelled with a u
A coward’s way out
And to what end?
It is no good
The answer would be the same
Silent
Still quiet

And is it u that I miss
Or the thought
Or the presence of any
Arms to hold me
Still?

He was right
Words with two L’s
Are tough to live with
Lonely, Lovely,
But what about longing,
Do words with 2 g’s have the same fate?
Or is it just the sound of
One L
With a tongue pressed softly against the palette?

Just don’t call
For god’s sake don’t call
Don’t write to speak don’t try
No matter how hard it is
It will only lead to
Still
Quiet
Silence

But I was not finished.
