The silence pierces my ears
Like hot water on ice cubes
Like air around a new born child
It hurts, it irritates, it torments
I utter, I scream, I wail
But the silence remains like a muting veil
Can you not hear me
Has the silence deafened the ears of your heart

The silence I can see
Like fog on a mountain
Like smoke from a fireplace
It stings, it smells, it surrounds us
I wave, I jump, I choke
It envelops us like thick, black smoke
Can you not see me as I see you
Has the silence blinded your eyes

The silence I can feel
Like a freezing morning breeze
Like the hot, dry desert air,
It numbs, it burns, it crawls all over the skin
I touch, I caress, I held
But you did not move, did not respond
Can you not feel my presence, my warmth and comfort
Has the silence blinded your senses

The silence is painful
It devastates my heart, my mind, my soul
Please, I ask, I pray, I beg of you
Wake up from your slumber
Open your ears, your eyes, your heart
For that moment I am willing to wait
In alienation
In painful silence.
