I found silence
Alone in the night
I found it crying
And losing its light
Licking its wounds from
Eternity’s fight

It was lingering
In the moon’s shadows
It was cowering
In the city’s toes
I found silence
Where no one else goes

Wandering through streets
With nowhere to be
Creeping through fields
When no one can see
Scaling the mountains
To try to be free

I found silence
In echoes of pain
Woven in black
In the smell of rain
And on the heart where
It is known to stain

I found silence
Hung from a noose
When there are no words
In worlds of abuse
In broken hearts
In a broken truce

I found silence
In cracks in the floor
Trailing behind wind
In remnants of war
Buried in rubble
In the loudest roar

It burst my eardrums
As I sought it out
It is far from dead
Despite all the doubt
And to stay alive
It screams a loud shout

I found silence
Alone in the night
Wishing for hope
Fighting for light
Or possibly silence
Found me last night
