Pounding Silence

Drifting silence...

Pounding silence...

Yes, there is such a thing. 

It's when the silence becomes too much;

When you hear nothing, but your mind is talking.

When the talking becomes yelling 

And your head starts hurting...

That is the pounding silence.

The nothing can be almost pleasant 

than dealing with silence.

With nothing, there isn't anything hanging around...

There isn't anything unfinished or needing closure.

The silence wraps me like an unwelcomed blanket

That drags me to my knees.

I will sleep every night like I always do...

Perhaps even dream a little...

And just wait for the silence to let me go.
