Silence

Wow...I didn't know this could come out like this. Like I have once read, "Silence is the loudest scream." If you didn't know me, you'd think I'd just broken up with my boyfriend.

Tick, tick, tick,

The clock ticks on.

No one is there,

No one breathes.

I feel my heart pound,

I hear my heavy breath.

Though the light shines bright above me,

I am in the dark.

There is no one,

Only silence.

 

Silence that was once filled with laughter,

Loving whispers,

Kisses,

And tight hugs.

 

Where there was once passion,

Where there was once a river of tears,

Where there was once lovemaking at it's height,

Is only silence.

 

Why?

 

My tears flow soundlessly,

Meshing into the distance,

I no longer care who hears.

 

Because there is no one,

Because there is not one person,

That could make me smile.

 

The silence is overwhelming,

I can't take it anymore.

 

I hear a scream,

Far off,

And then I realize,

It is me.

 

The scream fades away,

Slowly,

Tauntingly.

 

I fear I shall go mad,

Locked up in the corners of my mind,

Trying to escape,

This horrible,

Deafening,

Mind-numing,

Silence.

I LOVE your explanation of how you feel. Your thoughts tell the story, as I hear it.
