Lamentation In Silence

Silence shrouds the sound of his emotions
They shout so loud, yet you hear nothing.
Not because they lost their voice, but because
Of the loudness of the silence.
His lamentation searches for a way,
For a way to something; to someone?

Silence is now against him, not for him
Such power in nothingness, in 'the mute'.

I read this twice and will go for three after writing here, something in it catches at me. Loudness of the silence maybe. Good job Lajorne.
