The Sound of Silence

The sound of two people ignoring each other, The sound of no one being there for another, The sound of eerie nothingness engulfing the air, The sound of no one even bothering to care

The sound of wind blowing everything away, The sound of the pain you go through every day, The sound of everything secret, The sound of being completely independently

The sound of thinking quietly inside, The sound of being left behind, The sound of trying not to cry, The sound of wishing you could die

The sound of silence can’t be heard, Just like the soft swift wings of a bird. The sound of silence can seem unreal. The sound of silence is something you sense

The sound of silence Soft yet shrill The sound of silence I think can kill
