The air is thick with silence <br />The emptiness deafens <br />My mouth gasps open <br />but echoes nothingness <br /> <br />I have reached the edge <br />The sky is red <br /> <br />I am deaf-mute <br />This is my lament <br /> <br />I am the forgotten song <br />on a bridge called <br />Loneliness <br /> <br /> <br />© 2009 Sonya Florentino<br /><br />Sonya Florentino<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-scream-inspired-by-the-famous-painting/
