The Sound Of Silence

​

What the hell are we doing?
Where did it start to go wrong?
How on earth did we get to this?
Why are we parted so long?
We met each other through loneliness,
At first we thought it could work.
But now we just sit in emptiness.
Our loving just ran berserk.

​

At first our love was blinding,
As bright as the afternoon sun.
Soon it had paled to the shadows,
So soon the end had begun.
I wasn't a threat to you baby,
You made me feel like one though.
You made me feel uncomfortable,
So I made up my mind to go.

​

I left you on a Saturday,
With your voice ringing in my ears;
Your words of anger towards me,
Were more painful than your tears!
You knew just how to hurt me,
I wonder if you really cared.
Was I another of your playthings?
A toy that couldn't be shared!

​

Yet! You claimed you loved me,
Well that, I just cannot believe.
For you craved another so quickly,
For me you no longer grieve.
My life without you is empty,
Though my heart, for you still yearns.
Now that it's over and quiet,
The silence once more returns.

​

If time was stopped and then reversed,
Back into your arms I'd run.
Sadly alas! Our time has passed,
You're with some other man's son!
So another person has fallen,
Into your tangled web he fell.
I sure hope you don't treat him,
To your particular brand of hell!

​

But only you can tell me,
Only you know the reasons why.
You wanted to break my spirit,
So all that I do now is cry!
And when I look around me
There is something I have found.
Within these halls of echoing walls,
The Sound Of Silence resounds.
