It's silent -
too silent to be peaceful
The heaviness is in the air.
The whispered mourning
The song of the bird - sad.
The silent night
seems like it does not want me around
Sleep… force yourself to sleep, it says
While I lay awake in pain,
it adds, more to itself.
I close my eyes
unable to sleep
I hear the cries of the silent night.
I wish then,
I should have listened.
Because, until now -
The silent night had only peace to offer
But not this time. This time, it's in pain.
And, I cannot reach out to it, sadly I cannot -
So, I let it cry. Alone and Lonely
It's silent
too silent to be peaceful
The heaviness is in the air.
The whispered mourning
The song of the bird - sad.
