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
