Deafening Silence

Why is the silence so deafening

Can you hear the silence as well

It’s all around me and never leaves me alone

In my all alone closed in hell

I don’t want to talk about what happened

Although I actually do

Sometimes I just listen to myself going on

Could it be you do too?

It’s not fair but I have to accept it

I wish I could start again

Wave a magic wand, cast a new spell

Instead of living in pain

I just need a break I tell myself

A comforting arm around me

Don’t mind who it is but please come in

Maybe you can help me get free

I look at all the passers by

Just passing me on their way

I would love be just like them

But afraid of what they’d say

Can you hear the silence?
