Silence

And still I hear no reply.
To no one I appeal.
Silence, as time goes by.

I dare to ask why.
So empty, surreal,
And still I hear no reply.

Too tired to cry.
Too worn to feel.
Silence, as time goes by.

Bend and comply.
Where is life’s zeal?
And still I hear no reply.

Look to the sky
I bend and kneel
Silence, as time goes by.

Does sadness belie
What full hearts reveal?
And still I hear no reply.
Silence, as time goes by.
