How could you hold my heart in your hand?

I watch the darkness
creeps quietly into the night.
Now the empty hall
echoes in reverberating silence.
And coldness settles
comfortably into the room -
filling all corners
with suffocating sadness.
I waited in stillness...
Like the many times that
I swallowed my anticipation.
And I wonder more
How could you hold
my heart in your hand
and not know it?
