words

by zara - Aries

Words fall like hammer blows
reverberate around the chambers,
echo like the deepest silence
then return to hit the synapses
like a blow to the mind.
All meaning long since deserted, leaving instead
sounds; 
how loud do the words have to be
before you recognise the sound
of one heart breaking.
Just cause as a method of
continuing the madness.
sounds that never end,
replayed repetitive, absolute,
over and over in the devine scheme
words become sounds,
become pain, 
dissolve into tears.
