hi fi stereo

by genie - Aquarius

if it's words that break
the silence i'd sold
for another chance
then surely you 
must have broken me
the glass like bits
as i tear into
another self-created void
another piece
of quiet to shatter
as you raise the volume of
the hi-fi stereo crackling
another record,
another cruel word
haunting the empty air
rising like smoke
inhaling the vapors
the sound of yor voice
and it shatters me somehow
again and again
where the shards lay still
glinting idealists
with broken ideals
(you can't always believe)
still silence proves unworthy
each time as it's shattered
as i buy chances
(sell the dreams of quiet)
and you raise the hi-fi volume
crackle play another record
and those words break me again
shatter my void again...........

Reason for writing:

    images in my brain, i guess.
