Listen

By SilentDreamer

Listen.
Listen to the silent screams.
The silent screams,
That shoot down the silent hall,
As the clock strikes the hour.

Listen.
Listen to the silent cries.
The silent cries,
That echo down the silent hall.
Let the feeling pass.
Before.
Before you listen again.

Listen.
Listen to the silent tears.
The silent tears,
That roll down pale white cheeks,
As it becomes real.

Listen.
Listen to the final gasp of air.
The final gasp,
Before death takes hold.
Listen one last time.

Listen.
Listen to the silent thud of death.
The silent thud.
That hangs still in the silent hall,
The silent hall of death.
