In the silence lies a mortal wound a voiceless arrow has struck dumbly it thunders identifying final innocence crushed Exquisite is the torture of a silent stare holding every vanquished embittered care Somewhere beyond an emotional peek where tears find a language to speak The silence of utter failure the throws between a life and it's death the hush of a dream at once impoverished as you witness it's final breath Sound buried in the void of explanation mute the muse of words suspended only notwithstanding owned hope of his and hers An endless pause hangs in between as your grip slips knowing what it means Words so deafening only silence can bear them when the strong have no defiance left to live in the soundless silence already condemning the living who can't endure it again In this silence so inaudibly hearable so cruel so brutal it's sound the pitch of which is so unbearable the deaf cry... Turn it down!
