Silence

The Different Types of Silence

What do you hear in the silence between us

Does it make you wish for another

Or maybe make you feel more at home

Do you hear my screaming mind

Searching for conversation

I hope you do

Then maybe we’d have something to talk about

Instead of murmuring silence

---

Here in this room

There’s only silence

An empty box

I spend my nights in

Packed with artifacts

Of who I was

And only me

To mourn the loss

I see the self

I so wanted to be

And a fleshy sack that

Makes up me

The colours are dulled

And I’m not sure what the time is

So I lay in the dark

Cold silence
