silence


Shocking is the silence,

Mixed emotions are the truth.

Who could have guessed that things like this

could crush your faith with one swift, whoosh.

 

Excitement slowly dying,

Cruel deception has a wrath.

Creeping in comes fear and anger

They smash and smash and smash.

 

The results are empty faces.

Shells of people once alive.

Certain things are hard to live with

Big mistakes that make you cry.
