Now that you’ve gone…..
There is deafening silence,
Where once there was laughter.
There are now tears, and no smiles.

To hold you again,
Is my heart’s desire.
My arms are so empty,
My heart so heavy.

I want to see your face,
Hear your laughter.
I want to scream if only,
I could scream above……..

This deafening silence.
