The Sound of Heartbreak

It’s the slip of a name. An accident, you claim. It’s the breath drawing out of me, And red is all I can see. A deafening silence heard, Tears fill my eyes, vision blurred. It’s quiet like a church mouse, Silent screaming through the house. It’s a deafening quiet, A heart breaking riot. It’s the sound of your laughter, Pretending to care right after. Never a sincere apology, When you do it just to hurt me. It the excuses of a joke, But still my heart broke. Its tears burning down my face, While I try to react with little grace. The sound of a world shattered. Promises made now tattered. It’s the sound of goodbye coming fast, When all you wanted was to make it last. Trying to hide how it stung, To hear her name roll off your tongue. The sound of a heart break, Deafening silence I can’t take.
