Silence

No movement.

Roaring in my ears,

but 

no sound.

Oppressing,

but 

nothing to blame.

Suffocating,

but 

nothing is there to 

take away.

 

Silence is nothing,

but everything.

Silence is everywhere,

but nowhere.

Silence is never,

and always.

Silence is slowly

drowning me.

I am alone.

 

Nobody can 

save me from 

something that has

no shape

no size

no smell
 

And yet it hurts.

Why?
