The Peace of Silence

Silence Silence is my only solace

A quiet reprieve from the sting

Of the unrelenting words

Painful reminders of the past

All the bitter affirmations

Of being unworthy of anyone’s love

Silence is my only solace

From people’s insanity

Human cruelty, inexcusable

Grows with the times

No words can hurt me

When I am too far away to hear

Silence is my only solace

When I feel I can’t go on

A peaceful oasis in the barren desert

At times when I feel alone In silence I know I have myself

My thoughts soothe the hurt

And I have awhile to lick the wounds

That cut deeply into my heart

And we’ve gone too far

When silence is the only solace.

This is beautiful on many levels, but mostly because I go there too, and you have described it so well.. solace, renewal, peace..and even gratitude. Silence speaks volumes !

So sad, but I find a lot of truth in your words...sometimes silence is better than all of the "noise" that others can inflict upon our lives.
