Death is silent

Death is silent

as silent as memories

that fade away, carried by boats at sea

Death is silent

as silent as butterflies

that flicker by my closed eyes

Death is silent

as silent as my tears

that go unheard by your ears

Death is silent

as silent as my pain

that's hidden in the rhythm of the rain

Death is silent

as silent as stargazing

in the absence of your presence in my space

Death is silent

as silent as late nights in winter

where the lack of your warmth makes me

wither
