LONLINESS----THE SOUND OF SILENCE

by Cletus Hardiman - Sagittarius

I've experienced the trauma
of being alone.....
the silence, the pain
when everyone's gone.
It tears at your mind
and rips at your soul....
It erodes your sanity
'til you are no longer whole!

Some music you play,
a soft tune or some rock....
and upon your door
you wish for a knock.
You turn on the "tube"
and watch love or violence,
But, the loudest sound you hear
is the sound of silence !

    Just expressing my feeling about being alone when I do not wish to be.....Believe it or not, in some ways......silence does have a sound......
