The Silence

Another morning arrives,

Running from the pain;

Another storm is coming,

From the sky it starts to rain.

The silence is near; if only

I could go faster, escape from the

Quietness that deafens my ears.

Standing in the darkness alone,

The rain is pouring, masking my tears.

The thunder roars and the

Lightening strikes, still I hear

The silence as it continues throughout The night.
