Silence in the Darkness
Silence is deafening
The sound of empty souls
The quiet darkness cutting undesirable thoughts
The sound of a lullaby full of fraught
Silence in the darkness
The sound of empty words
Indeterminate waves of constant reminders
Of the emptiness bummer of nothing heard
Silence in the darkness
I sit empty in the room
Silence comes to me so innocently
And tears my soul that doesn’t move
Silence in the darkness
Constant words that shatter
Does anyone hear the rhythm?
And does it even matter?
