The Sound of Quiet

The sound of quiet
Is quite the opposite
Your senses are flooded

Drown in the bass of your heartbeat
An exhale of breath is a waterfall
Silence is deafening

You have no sounds to distract you
From the loudest sound of all
Silence

It's unbearable
The screaming of your soul
Telling you what you've missed
