Silence


It forms at every pause
It lurks around every corner
It builds with every second
It waits for the next moment

It is everything
It is nothing
It will open doors
It will slam them shut


It relieves
It torments
It creates
It destroys


It is the sound in death
It is the sound in lonliness
It is the sound in tears
It is the sound in heartbreak


It releases fears
It unlocks anger
It fears rage
It leaves nothing


It is the impending doom
It is a new love
It is the deaf ears
It is silence.
