"Silent Symphony" by Aris Balu

I've seen what silence did to the best of lovers, I've seen the lights leaving their eyes

At first, it was beautiful how betrayal could destroy even the tallest fortress, seeing their dreams crumbled by the thought of an unanswered love

Until silence came to claim me

It comes for vengeance, for the unreadiness to make amends with my inner demon

For the chaos of articulating is my domain

To speak is like breathing, it tends to be my nature

Until your silence came to me, when the only voice I wanted to hear was yours

When it calms the storm within and allows me to listen truly, your silence came

And along with it, my insecurity and pain, the ice and fire of a self-proclaimed hurricane

For I've got no one to blame, in silence, I shall remain
