Only Silence

I listen for a familiar sound, that is never very far away. But only silence is found, and it is deafening today. I no longer hear the song, music that was in my heart. Fallen silent, after so long. Without it, will I fall apart? I know now that all is gone. It happened a short time ago. It is now more difficult to move on. Will I hear music again...I don't know.

A telling write- a deafening silence- so well expressed. That special something - gone, perhaps forever. Thank you.
