Soundless
You said ' Don't leave',
But I think I must,
The things you say to me,
The abuse is too much.
Now that big city,
Is in my rear-view,
I'm going home,
To start anew.
But when I get there,
Everyone's a mess.
Dead and gone,
Is my best friend.
What I've learned the most,
Through all of this,
Is that cuts and bruises,
Will hurt less and less,
That painful words,
Are meaningless
Because the things that hurt the most,
Are always soundless.

Poetry: Silence
by Ted Onulak
As silent as flowers in a vase
Taking quiet sips of water
Wordlessly counting their last remaining days
Silent as the sunbeams
by Memee
Millions of snow flakes gently falling to the ground
blanketing the earth with out making a sound.
Star gazing from a hilltop
Silence echos all around me:
nothing.
Reminding me of my thoughts,
and taking me further
into its welcoming depth.
by Excelsorsior AKA Xelsorsior
Silence is Silent
Is silence found in heart that beats no more
Or is it placed in a dream without an encore
Is silence revealed
Silence
The flame dances on the wick,
Dances to some silent music.
No pounding beat or tune,
No rhythm or rhyme,
Just...silenc e.
Shadows
