Silence Screams Unrequited

Silence Screams Unrequited

You fall in love, and you fall a thousand feet,

Trusting their loving arms would be there to meet,

You fall willingly from that height, you leap without fear,

Believing in their love, knowing they are near,

But no arms reach upward, no warm embrace appears,

You keep on falling through vast and empty spheres,

Until you strike the ocean you yourself have cried,

For unrequited love, as if the soul has died,

From such great height, this bitter sea you found,

Feels just like solid, frozen hard winter ground,

It rends and it shatters every hope you ever knew,

Yet still you float upon it, broken, pale, and true,

This silence is not silence, it swells and fills the air,

A vast and solemn symphony no other soul may bear,

It is the cry of unrequited, wordless, deep and long,

The loudest, aching, saddest song,

For nothing resounds more fierce, no reply quite so deep,

As whispering “I love you”, yet no fond answer you keep,

That unanswered devotion, where no answer has been,

The loudest of silences the world has ever seen,

Symphonic, Unrequited, the silence that screams.
