The Silence

The silence is so empty it makes me want to scream

My tears run down my face while no one is watching

My heart is beating but also it's breaking

My head has so many thoughts just racing 

My stomach is in knots I want it all to stop 

This loneliness is killing me

He's gone away somewhere I can not be 

Shackles and chains with no escape

Bright orange two piece suit not the latest in fashion

No family no friends no
love found anywhere

Oh and I'm the one who
put him there

Yes the silence is so empty it makes me want to....
