The Silence of Sound

by Chris   May 31, 2007


After an hour drive
we're in the same place
We're competing with each other
we can't seem to win this race

Your words, they linger from your lips
as they wrap around my heart
You pull me in closer
before I fall apart

You think I have something to say
but I'm waiting to hear you say
That you don't want me to go
I'm the smile in your day

But it's another restless night
ending in a circle going around
Before I give up
the silence kills the sound

    Hey man thanks for the comment. I like the way that you rhyme it is done flawlessly. My favorite part is the third stanza it really speaks to me.

    This poem was excellent
    I can relate
    but the last line
    that was my favorite part of the poem
    it made so little sense that it made all the sense in the world
    it leaves you thinking
    good job
    5/5
