Suddenly I Heard Silence Shout

SUDDENLY I HEARD SILENCE SHOUT All of a sudden I turned around And it was then I heard the sound All of a sudden I looked about And ‘twas then i heard emptiness shout With a swollen voice it screamed “no more” For it was at that moment fate closed its door All our plans laid out with precision and prayer While you accepted its words with your casual flair I was made speechless by what had thusly been spoken And all I could feel beating was a heart set asunder and broken I sat on a couch wondering how life could be so caustically cruel Alas for hours upon that couch wept a fool A foolish man who bought into lies and deception And amidst silence came sorrow sans exception What wondered I could I possibly have done As I felt like jumping out of my skin and taking to run Suddenly I turned around to see what I didn’t want to see And that was the ghost of you and only tears for me The universe is witness to an atrocity with no where to hide And it also knows how stridently I tried long before I cried © 2011.….Phreepoetree ~free cee!~
