Have you heard of the deafening silence? <br />It rips though your heart <br />And screams through your mind <br /> <br />Silence used to be quiet <br />Laying on the grassy hills <br />Under a starry night <br /> <br />But now it comes at a terrible price <br />A price that I cannot afford to pay <br />But am forced to nonetheless <br /> <br />For each silent moment <br />A part of me is gone - <br />Sent to the nothingness of the dark <br /> <br />One silent moment <br />Is nothing to worry about <br />But this is not the case <br /> <br />The silence builds and builds <br />It becomes deafening <br />And will eventually <br />Encompass me completely<br /><br />John McClay<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-deafening-silence-2/
