Silent
Filled with echoes of what could be
The silence sounds so loud to me
Echoed thoughts that hurt my heart
Ripping the veil on my life apart
My energy spent
Silent
So quiet, my heartbeat is all
A metronome measuring my fall
A beat in my head
That fills me with dread
And a desperate intent
Silent
The rushing of blood through my veins
Precursing inevitable migraines
Screaming my fears
But nobody hears
My descent
Silent

So silent.

Silent(Tallisman) Silent
Filled with echoes of what could be
The silence sounds so loud to me
Echoed thoughts that hurt my heart
Ripping the veil on my life apart
My energy spent
Silent
So quiet, my heartbeat is all
A metronome measuring my fall
A beat in my head
That fills me with dread
And a desperate intent
Silent
The rushing of blood through my veins
Precursing inevitable migraines
Screaming my fears
But nobody hears
My descent
Silent

So silent.

Wow! Overpowering emotions, yet a feeling of emptiness. A cause to think deeply ~
