Silence
is the complete absence of sound,
it's the absence of speech
between two people--
between us;
yet how can it be
so deafening?

Perhaps in every silence,
there is always
an unsatiating feeling,
a broken promise,
an embellished hope,
a screaming thought,
trying to be heard.

Lean closer
when there is silence,
and listen:
You'll realise that
when words are absent,
thoughts deafen.
