Beneath the Quiet

I have no words left to say

There’s no one left to listen

So few ever really seemed to care

And as I tried to call out

To find some solace from the struggle

Nothing ever came in my direction

The echos of the emptiness

Are all that’s here to turn to

Hardly what I want or need

But that’s all I have left

So I’ll hold the silence tight

Wear it like an armor

No one will see my heart again

It lies beneath the quiet
