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?
