Silence

Listen, Listen to the sound of still breathing
Of all the little hearts beating
Listen as the blank room grows darker
Remember how it was once filled with laughter
Strain your ears, try to capture a sound
With nothing but stillness and silence around
Wait for darkness, for it to change to light
As it struggles in this small world with might
But yet, it's silence that captures me whole
burning its structure deep within my soul
Giving me nothing but darkened sight
with fear, I fear nothing more than light
I sink deeper, closer to the cold ground
Listening to nothing but silence; the sound
As then the voice becomes softer
and yet, I can no longer hear laughter
My ears reach out, listening...
and straining....
Silence.
