Analysis of Silence



Hello, sadness, my friend.
I’ve come to talk with you again,
Because tears, softly dripping.
My heart is bleeding as i am sleeping.

You planted confusion in my brain.
I tried to forget you, but you still remain,
in restless dreams. I walked alone,
through narrow streets of cobblestone.

I turned my collar to the cold and damp,
Am I living to fade away in sorrows?
I laughed hard outside to prove am calm,
but, yet am cold to my bone marrow.

How long will I love this killing silence!
I tried to talk but blood filled my mouth,
who knows, this breath is my last.
 I will be walking through the clouds.

People talking without speaking,
People hearing without listening,
People walking without moving,
People wanting the truth without changing.

You do not know,
Silence, like a cancer, grows.
Hear my words that I might teach you,
Take my arms that I might reach you”

But my words like silent raindrops fell,
And echoed in the wells of silence.
Saying,what do you need to be well?
I am walking on a ground that is endless

And the people bowed and prayed.
To the carved god they made,
And the sign flashed out its warning.
Silence whispers it trials of fate.

About this poem

It's all about people dying in silence, yet, the person having difficulties to air out what is going on.
