All our words equate to silence

because we're talking

and people are hearing

but nothing seems to resonate.

So when one person speaks

instead of talking

nobody is listening.

Our silence only grows.

I hate this silence

This is what makes us Alone

This is what brings us all our pain

Because when nobody is there

and nobody cares

then what is the point?

They say that people do care

but they're too afraid to show it.

That provides no comfort

when silence is silence

and you can't tell care from careless.

Will you just speak to trees

when nobody will listen to you?

Or will your words become talk

and your ears turn to stone?

When someone speaks to you

they way you did

before the silence took you,

will you listen?

Will you let the silence grow?
