S.I.L.E.N.C.E.

I have tried and succeeded,
In getting used to the noise.
I have tried and succeeded,
In getting all notes right.
I have tried and succeeded,
In hearing you all out.
I have tried and succeeded,
In tuning to what you don’t say out loud.
I have tried and succeeded,
In hearing your whispers among shouts.
But I am still trying,
To hear your silence out loud.
I have got all your words figured right,
It's your silent bits that are a fight.
If only you would sit with me,
And say nothing at all.
So that we could hear each other's silence,
And finally let all those sound barriers fall.
