That Sound

                                         That Sound
                                     My body vibrates
                             Chills run up and down my spine
                                        Saying hello
                                      She cries down
                               The world lights up above
                                    What more must I ask

                                   Betrayed by her tears 
                                 The ground seems to rise
                                    I'm again knee deep
                               
                                  I attempted to say I'm sorry
                                       for what I know not
                                    She continues to scream
                                         Now to my waist
                                  
                                  I go to my mental Rolodex 
                                     A memory comes back
                                    Tears coming in my Home
                                          Salt I can smell
                   
                                 Heart breaking from a sound...
