Silence

Hours pass, never regained
Surely as wind squall
Before summer's rain

Words unspoken, muteness maintain
Invisible walls rise
To hide inner pain

Apathy shown, hurting retained
Paths have now parted
Neither to blame

Escape barriers, peace is the aim
Embrace aloneness
And find there no shame
