Silence, Stillness

How quiet, how static is everything?

The music's stopped,

but the world still turns

It's been so long,

but my heart still hurts

The birds still sing

and the leaves still dance

I want to give up

Yet hope for a chance

Everything's the same

Yet it's all brand new

I've met so many

Yet I still think of you

If you're gone, it's okay

Definitely not the worst

and I will die one day,

but want to see you first

[John the Baptist]

Very nicely rhymed piece. The sense of pain and loss came through very clearly.

[Jacques - iNkwire]

Thank you very much! It means a lot.
