Silence,

An everlasting drone of nothing.

Will it not ever end?

Words form at my mouth,

But will not pass.

Silence continues.

Words a whirl in my head,

I try to find the right ones,

The ones that could put an end

To the unbearable silence.

My heart longs for conversation,

One that will never come.

Instead, there is silence,

An unseen guardian of my thoughts,

And the keeper of my soul.
