Vow of Silence;

[zahrakh]

Well the dawn draws nigh
in the pale blue sky
and the birds outside in song;
as I close my eyes
and droop my head
and wonder what went wrong.
Till the sun sits high
in some grey-white sky
outside kids laugh and play;
but I don't get far
before she returns
and I wonder what to say;
but the silence lingers
till the day-light dwindles
and the dusk stalks gently on;
now the streets are quiet
life gone with the light
and she was right all along.
But it's night time now
and I've kept my vow
and the birds have quit their song;
and I wonder, I wonder
if before I die,
if I'll ever sing along.

P.S The simplicity of it was intentional as to convey the apathy behind the 'misery-of-it-all'.

There is some kind of rhyming scheme involved here. But it's not being strictly followed so i'll take it as a free verse.
as I close my eyes
and droop my head
and wonder what went wrong. (cliche. the stanza is smooth though but perhaps you could express the same feeling differently. You don't have to use words just for the sake of rhyming here. Everyone droops down their head and wonder what went wrong, find a poetic way to express it, even if you want to keep it simple. Show, not tell.)
Till the sun sits high
in some grey-white sky
outside kids laugh and play;
but I don't get far
before she returns
and I wonder what to say; (good progress to the scene, but this 'she' has just appeared suddenly)
I loved the third stanza, with the sense of sadness and regret. Nicely done. I like your poem and don't see much to critique, but I think your first two stanza's need more work. And she was right, what she was right about? Also, last two stanzas are both starting with 'but', something that distracted me, but perhaps this is just me.
