Silent One


She smiles believing there is always hope
Is there such a thing as an overdose of sadness
Lives are not immune to the impacts of time
Even after death our special bond will remain
Not content, Grim Reaper returned without warning
There is no beauty in tragedy, nor a remedy

Once again you disturb my sleep
Now there are hollow walls with silent floors
Echoes of her voice tingle -
