Silence Broken with a scream There were signs A twitch of the eye A snarl of the lip A look of despair Hunger I ignored them It was so easy to see only the veil Watch it dance across your face with each saddened breath And the silence grew I did not hear it over the crickets And the wind If I had only listened I would have heard it howling louder still And it grew The invisible pain I felt you drift, willingly So that when you screamed We cried out together, I am alone in silence! The world too damp for the truth to ignite Our words too loud to hear You turn I am alone in silence.

Silence
Silence Broken with a scream There were signs A twitch of the eye A snarl of the lip A look of despair Hunger I ignored them It was so easy to see only the veil Watch it dance across your face with each saddened breath And the silence grew I did not hear it over the crickets And the wind If I had only listened I would have heard it howling louder still And it grew The invisible pain I felt you drift, willingly So that when you screamed We cried out together, I am alone in silence! The world too damp for the truth to ignite Our words too loud to hear You turn I am alone in silence.
