Silence

It's worse than a weapon
So much worse than a knife
It can whisper out beckons
For the end of a life

It can cut down the deepest
And reach right to the core
Make the strongest fall strengthless
And keep them down on the floor

It's the silence that follows
And the voices that whine
It can seek out the hollows
And echo on in your mind

The silence owns darkness
And it aches in your heart
It is always the sharpest
Readily tearing apart
