Dark Silence ©©

Here am I

Alone among the sounds of silence

Sounds lost in a world of noise

Sounds never heard

Laughter not shared

Sorrow ignored

Madness engulfs sanity

Hysteria embraces the mind

Fueled by loneliness

Despair

Desire

Time

Night’s dark curtain muffles the white noise

Leaving the silent to be heard

The sounds of pleasure

Pain

Joy

Moments lost among the noises of time

In the darkest corner of my mind

I hear what has been buried

What’s been abandoned to decay

To exist as an echo of what once was

Until silence gives it a voice

To be heard within the dieing noise

Here I am

Listening to the silence

Hearing what I don’t want to hear

Hearing what I desire

What I fear

As time sneaks up from behind to whisper in my ear
