She sat
in a world of her own,
Writing words that no one would hear.
Or maybe they would,
She didn't really care.
The noise...***...the static
Hung heavy in the air.
Maybe one day there would be
.s.i.l.e.n.c.e.
She didn't really care.
They sat
in a world of quiet denial,
Wishing that the sounds were not really there.
They always were,
But they tried not to care.
The noise...***...the static
Hung heavy in the air.
Maybe one day there would be
.s.i.l.e.n.c.e.
They didn't really care.
She sat
bleeding her heart,
Crying that the pain was far too much to bear.
Maybe someone could have helped,
She didn't really care.
The noise...***...the static
Hung heavy in her ears.
Soon there would be
.s.i.l.e.n.c.e.
She didn't really care.
They sat
as they always did,
Waiting for the sounds to begin again.
When they never did,
They didn't really care.
The silence...***...the static
Hung heavy in the air.
Neverending
.s.i.l.e.n.c.e.
Did anyone ever care?
She sat
waiting to be found,
As her music stopped the quiet began.
Closing her eyes,
She didn't really care.
The silence...***...the static
Hung heavy in the air.
When they saw her
.s.i.l.e.n.c.e.
They found they didn't care.
