SILENCE

SILENCE

1 min
166


We underestimate silence.

Closing the window only to hear the

Loudest thuds of

The strongest wind.


It is deafening

Like the moment when you are standing in

The middle of the crowd

At the EDM night you’ve been dying to dance to.


But oh!

It’s there.

You spot it.

It is climbing through the back of your head


Steadily,

Picking poisoned steps.

It’s there.

Silence.


Greeting you with a beat drop,

Throwing you off into an abyss of

Your favourite lyrics and memories.


Speaking to you or

Perhaps

Yelling at you.


Maybe you are at peace with it,

Just like your ex-lover,

But when it is not lurking around,

You miss it


Just like your ex-lover.

Silence is a well learnt force.

It either gives you a sky full of stars

Or

Another round of vodka and tears.


Silence is

A sassy woman dressed in black

You can’t really love her

Or

Hate her.


She will do what she does best.

She will be your favourite enemy

And the loudest one.
