Silence

Silence
By Kevin Robey
September 14, 2013

After all the chaos, nothing left but silence
Stray thoughts die away in the ambulance
Dripping clear fluid lines the bags hanging on
The drops sounding the siren of my dying song

Am I coming or going? I can hardly tell
Is it the smile or frown I’m trying to sell?
I try so hard to fill the silence in my mind
Hearing my name, these echoes are mine

Hard to say if I miss the confusion and pain
We found our truths were one in the same
Now all I hear is the wailing sirens call
Maybe I’ll find the meaning of every fall

While each ascending peak on the LCD screen
Takes us a little farther from happier scenes 
My weathered heart beats from beneath the ashes
Rising above the scenes of continuous car crashes
