The Sound of Silence

Deafening is

the sound of silence

Echoing in

my mind like madness

Washing off

a smile of sadness

Hiding behind

a whitewash of blackness

Crying out

a lingering cadence

For you

To hear

my Opus Majus

To see

my broken canvas

Of love

Alas

You are gone

You have vanished

Took my heart

and my happiness

With you
