The voice in me doesn't find an echo,
Words don't exist here, no sounds high or low.
Absolute silence throbs in my ears,
Deafens me with nothing to hear.
Like a cranker, it eats me up
Swallows every word, smooth and rough.
I wonder if feelings aren't pain enough;
Does every emotion need letters, like a staff
Supporting it, giving voice to it
Where none is required, none needs exist.
The intense silence still pulsates in my ears;
Sounds rise, and are drowned in tears.
No voices remain today, there's only silence,
Engulfing me, my being, my every sense.
