Silence

Numbing, paralytic pain
Immobilizes my brain
Caught in the eye of a hurricane
Silence ceases to acknowledge time
When once you were mine
Now only a fading outline

Youth once defined our dreams
Then quickly replaced by screams
And finally transformed to extremes
Now silence becomes our ally
Relegated to meaningless passer-bys
Our relationship forever nullified

Regrets exponentially decrease
Any semblance of ultimate release
From epithets devoid of peace
Now silence becomes our friend
That allows us to transcend
Until that final Amen

For I loved you once, it’s true
When our relationship was new
And neither of us withdrew
Now silence replaces our words
Before we depart the absurd
If only we were heard
