The Sound Of Silence Poem by I AM THAT MOUSE

hearts that didn't last
our now parts of my past
that made me the lover i'll be.
these hearts will be carried
'til the days that i'm buried
when the boys come 'round to mourn me.

'round and 'round and 'round we go
the sound of silence is the song we know.
the sound of silence is what brought me home,
'round and 'round, i love you again.

this lingering scent of smoke and ash
reminds me of when we'd spoken last
and all the hateful things we said.
the fire was blazing
and you looked amazing
yet the fizzle was two steps ahead.

'round and 'round and 'round we go
the sound of silence is the song we know.
the sound of silence is what brought me home,
'round and 'round, i love you again.

i fell in love with what you didn't say
i loved was your face, it was your way
and your words were merely background.
now we pretend that
you never meant that
and i miss your silent sound.
i love you again.
