Screaming Silence Poem by Vishal Sharma

The words I say come out no more
You reply with nothing and the silence
takes over
The sting of the quiet shoots through
me to the core
You can’t say a thing anymore when
your life has been taken
Your lost life rushes over me with a
roar
You are forever asleep but my heart
has just now awakened
The crash is fresh in my mind; it’s still
an open soar
They close your eyes and lay a sheet
down to cover
The laughter and joy are done and the
silence rushes out, it slowly pours
Your love is my sanity but your
presence is forever gone
This silence I can no longer fully
endure
The silence you give now is screaming
in my ear the facts of reality
I’ll never let go of you but I must go on
This love is forever ours and this
silence is now too
