The Silence
Another morning arrives,
Running from the pain;
Another storm is coming,
From the sky it starts to rain.
The silence is near; if only
I could go faster, escape from the
Quietness that deafens my ears.
Standing in the darkness alone,
The rain is pouring, masking my tears.
The thunder roars and the
Lightening strikes, still I hear
The silence as it continues throughout The night.
