Silence: Can You Hear Me Now?

Silence. Silence screams at me through an empty eternity of thoughts I can't control. Just silence. Can you hear me now? I need th hand of a meaningful promise to hold. No more silhouettes of broken hearts and the past I've tried so hard not to remember. The past that constantly torments my mind, leaving me breathless and looking for meaning. You know what's funny? When I scream, I'm never heard. When the silence screams, it surrounds you. Consumes you. It's all there is to be heard. It's funny how you can look me in the eye and swear that you'll be there, yet I always end up alone. It's funny how I'm the one alone when you're the one deserving. But the funniest part? Is that, to me, none of this is funny at all.
