They say silence is golden
But we were taught
That everything that glitters
Will soon fade
And that voice without sound
Becomes lacklustre, barren
And those hidden truths
Begin to decay, spoil
Leaving a lingering sickness inside
I once thought I had a place to hide
Within my nothingness
My silent void
Then the noise began deep in my heart
Forcing me to awaken
From my emotional slumber
And I began screaming out
My treasured secrets
But your ears so tender and frail
Were deafened  by my flooding vigil
So again, I had to find silence
To save you
To save me
But I lost my empty refuge within
Discovering that all this time
My hollow was filled
With swarming desires
I just chose to be blind
And the only thing more lonely than nothingness
Is denial.
