Noise

Silence falls like a familiar friend

And here I am alone again

Listening to the sounds I can’t quite hear

Musical notes that are still unclear.

Instinct tells me words will come

Time will reveal what is yet unknown

Truth rushes at me like a cold, hard stone

Breaking my heart and delivering pain

Tears all hidden, expression the same

Quiet reigns and the world rushes on

The silence grows louder

I strain to hear

Waiting for the moment when it all becomes clear.

 

Unspoken

It wasn’t the words I spoke that hurt

But the ones I didn’t say

It was the intentional silence that broke the heart and ruined the day

Words have the power to destroy and maim,

do such damage and cause such pain.

But it  wasn’t the words I spoke that hurt

It was the words I did not say

Silence

I speak into the silence

And my voice echo’s back to me

A thousand different voices

The lies that I’ve believed

The lies that I believed

The voices that will not cease

I speak into the silence

And my voice echo’s back to me
