Silence
A lingering thought in the back of my head...
A lingering hope to forstall the dread.

What is it, do you ask, do you know?
This shadow which makes dark my glow?

A hope for joy, a hope for peace
Shredded by silence that does not cease

Happiness makes the world go 'round
Shattered by gloom without a sound

It it distance that you wish I keep?
Just say the word, and away I'll be...
