Screaming Silence

The words I say come out no more You reply with nothing and the silence takes over The sting of the quiet shoots through me to the core You can’t say a thing anymore when your life has been taken Your lost life rushes over me with a roar You are forever asleep but my heart has just now awakened The crash is fresh in my mind; it’s still an open soar They close your eyes and lay a sheet down to cover The laughter and joy are done and the silence rushes out, it slowly pours Your love is my sanity but your presence is forever gone This silence I can no longer fully endure The silence you give now is screaming in my ear the facts of reality I’ll never let go of you but I must go on This love is forever ours and this silence is now too
