Silence

I listen for a voice
But hear no sound
I talk to be heard
But it is quiet all around
Can anyone hear me
Or am I just as quiet
Please speak to me
I am afraid of being silent

Silence can be more than deafening. There are times everyone needs another nearby, another's touch... another's voice. Great write.

I enjoyed reading your poem, Arianna. Sounds perplexing, sometimes we just need to know someone is there. Blessings.
