The Sounder

I become what I see, each moment that passes with the pain that I alone seem to sense.  
Needing release from the surrounding screech of broken dreams and silent smiles.
No one needs a friend, a ringing laugh from a light heart.
Rays of sun that emenate from my serene soul, have become a black hole of disgust.
How can I give of my time when I have no ability over its control.
So I am speaking to others; in vain, if they choose not to hear of their own, or, anothers 
pain.
I tell them where they may find the time, if they will listen to the sounds of their own hearts 
with pure joy kept in mind.
Yet, I gave up trying to get out and found strange peace in that surrender.
It seems that if I lay down my body and soul, give my mind to the unending needs, I can 
finally leave the sad reminders of truth.
Why keep a hope of the future when the past replaces each new day?
Unanswered cries of and unloved soul only bring the wolves to devour the sounder.

Lindas Song

The silence grips me without you.
Without your laugh ringing.

The silence grips me without you.
Without your song singing.

The silence grips me without you.
Without your voice speaking.

The silence grips me without you.
