When words are tumbling out incessantly
Like storm waters gushing in rivers relentlessly
An obstinate refusal to reason or writ
A tumultuous outpour sans brevity or wit
Something is amiss. The loner amidst herds
Hiding silences amidst words
It is not for real. There is a façade. A feigning
Such silence can be deafening
When eyes meet eyes and then look away
Hurt hides behind camouflaged subtext on display
Holding on to sunshine to keep the night at bay
A pretense kept patently. Dark moods going astray
Closed lips keep quiet, those eyes have much to say
Masking wounds yet looking away is the giveaway
What happens once the subterfuge starts waning
Such silence can be deafening
When hearts are wrecked where is the noise
When souls are shattered why the poise
When trust is broken how much it destroys
Taking away with it the bliss, the smiles, the joys
Everything around comes to a standstill
You can bring to halt a universe at will
This kind of quiet is unnatural. Unnerving
Such silence can be deafening
