there’s a vastness…
you can’t even fathom…
a universe you can’t imagine…
within the realm of silence
stories untold
realities unexpected
contemplative reflection
pain unspoken
everything locked inside a vacuum
where the wall of it…
can hold someone hostage
a victim of their own thoughts
you can’t hear the noise in their heads
or how it deafens
don’t know the cause…
that created their effect
because silence isn’t always stillness
but rather sometimes…
it’s the weight of staring into an open grave
…knowing it’s just waiting
one wrong step…
and they’re going under
but you can’t hear that…
can you?
