Silence speaks louder than words
|
|
At a decibel too loud to be heard
|
|
As an abrupt disruption of nothin'
|
|
For our conversation consumption.
|
|
|
|
Its presence is chilling
|
|
And instant buzz-killing
|
|
Yet still we act
|
|
As if it's not there.
|
|
|
|
Our tongues are untied
|
|
As the silence subsides
|
|
Yet still its message
|
|
Hangs heavy in the air.
