The Other Side of Silence

You are muchly aware of chaos,
always doing something, somewhere-
surrounded by people who adore you
you live life, it seems, without a care.

I have always been quiet,
never liking to be in the light-
unconcerned with the whirlwinds
of what happens outside the night.

You say you want to settle down,
you want to live life normally-
you know what you want, you say
and you have retreated into me.

I fell asleep in your arms,
caving in to the safe and warm-
awaking to a balance between
silence and chaos in purest form.

Somewhere on the other side of silence,
there exists a life with you-
we achieve the perfect balance
and it's something I never knew
and now I'm sure, I can't separate the two.
