Deaf

Utter silence all around us
The sound of nothingness rings through our ears
What else can we do?
The thing is,
That I miss the old sounds and ways
When we would walk holding hands

When you would look into my eyes
And tell me you loved me
Those days that will forever be burned into our minds
Days of laughing, days of tears
Those were the days that I will always remember

Need not remember the pain I have now though
It just brings me more pain
More silence that I don't want to hear
I remember the laughs we had
The sound of tears

The sound of the fireplace during the rain,
Why must all these sounds,
Be so far away from me now
So tired from hearing nothing as it once was
The pitter-patter of my heart is all I can hear now

Even that is irregular
It once had beaten for you
Now it beats on its own
Thump thump
To many it seems like a normal heart beat

That as long as you're alive
That you aren't dead
That the heart is perfect
But it's not
And I am sorry babe that I won't be here

That I won't have another chance to do my shenanigans
But, you left me hearing nothing
Just the beat of my heart
The sound of blood rushing through my veins
Sorry, but now I guess I am deaf to it all
