Ups and downs
There was a long time
I could’ve walked
down the hall
and visited
a third of
my world.
When we
existed together
I understood much
more than I do now.
Now I wake up quiet
to quiet too quiet
with only my
footsteps
to listen
for.

The string of uses for the word quiet creates a really effective tension in this piece.
