Echoes In the Darkness

It echoes in the darkness
A silent sound that's heard
It's pain cries out in agony
Without ever speaking a word

This sound is too familiar
It's known by one and all
Nothing can keep it silent
It's perfect without a flaw

The effect it has is lasting
For all of those who hear
It can even be contagious
If someone is standing near

It's sound can even be blinding
As it brings us all to tears
For some it lasts for a couple of days
While others it can last for years

No one can ever escape it
It's destined right from the start
At least once in our life, everyone will hear
The sound of a broken heart
