Everything is Quiet

Everything is quiet when you're alone.
At all times, there is no sound.
You can hear the quiet through the noise of the TV.
You can hear the quiet through the music you play too loudly.
The quiet can be heard over your neighbor shouting.
The quiet talks over your friends at their parties.
Your thoughts lose their place in the quiet.
No matter how much you want to hear something, you know you never will.
There's a quiet indifference to how many tears you cry, and a quiet reply when you ask to be free.
Nothing speaks which isn't quiet, and nothing quiet ever begins to speak.
When you're alone.
