Hello darkness, my old friend
I've come to talk with you again......The words of the prophets
Are written on the subway walls
And tenement halls
And whispered in the sounds of silence"
- The Sound of Silence - Song by Simon & Garfunkel - 1964

Listen to poem:

running on empty longing unfulfilled hearing only echoes deja vu enthralls written on tenement halls subway walls
