the shadows of silence

 
 
 
what is built in  
love and  
beauty  
 
is torn down in  
rage and  
fire  
 
moments  
come  
 
moments  
go  
 
lovers  
come  
 
lovers  
go  
 
and at the end  
of the  
day  
 
when the sun  
is tried and  
curses the  
sky
 
and cars limp slowly  
home through  
snow and  
ice  
 
loss remains  
a faithful  
friend  
 
and heartbreak wears a  
mask so beautiful that  
the shadows  
of silence  
cry
