I always listen, even when no one is speaking.
It listens when everyone is speaking.
But not to the words, but to the hum of the heart.
To the hidden intentions and forgotten personifications.
The past, present, and future scream an audible shrill of agony.
And as they are forgotten and not sought for a person becomes deaf to themselves.
Listen to the silence, it speaks louder than words ever could.
