Silence is the sound

Force a smile on my face
Mask the tears in my heart
Take one long last look
Before I turn to walk away
The years are rushing past
My eyes can only see
This moment...
Here
and
Now
Now it's overwhelming me
What brought us together
What is it that tore us down??
Didn't find my answers
Silence is the sound,..
Paint a picture of my future
Shade it only black and white
Take away the shades of grey
Before I turn to walk away
Memories absorb... alas
Forever who I am
Forever you will be
Forever who I am....

What brought us together
What is it that tore us down??
Didn't find my answers
Silence is the sound,..
Put me in coach...I'm ready to
Fuck up...the USA...
Look at me...I can rig...
The presidency!!!!

    I can really feel the sadness and longing in this one. Saying goodbye to some dreams is hard.
    Our love must not be just words, but True Love, which shows itself in action,
    No one needs a smile more than someone who fails to give one,
    After you die...you know how to LIVE!

    nice poem. :o

    when I read the title it reminded me of what Hamlet says, "the rest is silence".
    it has nothing to do with your poem, just thought I'd share this. :)
    "Don't be faint-hearted, I have a solution! We shall go and commandeer some small craft, then drift at leisure until we happen upon another ideal place for our waterside supper with riparian entertainments."

    you're welcome. :)
    I once made a portfolio of texts with the main title being "the rest is silence". :o got a good grade. :D
    okay, that was again some irrelevant information. :o

    This is sad but well written. I've felt like this before.

    Screaming into the endless abyss,
    hearing nary a crack or a hiss,
    not even and echo returned to mine ear,
    the sound of silence is all that I hear.


    Your poemsong, especially the end part, just made me want to blurt out what came to my mind after reading it and, well, the above was it. :)

    Unanswered questions are most unnerving.

    Hmmm, I'd like to paint you a nice, colourful future, however. Black and white is just too predictable. I see you in a nice, sunshiney, yellowy-orange hue, surrounded by a myriad of magentas, fuchsias, aqua marines, violets, caramels...the bitchenist rainbow you ever seen!!!! :D

    Glad you like and of course you can use it, after all, your writing inspired it! :)

    It's already painted, however, it's only hanging in the gallery of my mind. *sigh* I used to love to paint and draw back when I was a teen but, unfortunately, I didn't keep up with it. It's a shame really and actually, I should take it up again. I wasn't great but I was halfway decent and it made me feel great to just sit for hours, listening to tunes and drawing. I didn't get to paint all too much but when I did, it felt great and I produced some good work. Good enough to get an "A" from an art teacher who really disliked me! :D Shoot, I always feel great when I'm creating! Whether it be drawing, painting, singing, sculpting, sewing...it just makes me feel happy and lively. It's funny how I just gradually let that stuff slip away. "You'll never get anywhere with that stuff, why don't you concentrate on things that are useful!" - Oh yeah, I think I heard that a little too often and let it get in my head. Silly me! All I can say to anyone is, never let it go no matter what anyone says. If artsy things make you feel good, "waste" as much time as you can spare creating. It's worth it if it makes you happy. :) Okay, enough yak from me!!!!! Are you regretting asking me when I start painting?? ;)
