Silence

Silence used to be my partner
Silence used to be my friend
Silence was the ever after
Silent to the bitter end

Silent were the words I studied
Absence their only friend
Silence was taken for granted
Never will I know it again

People observe a moment's silence
Rеmembering their livеs with friends
I used to try to observe this silence
Comparing all the nothings we left

Silence was my sparring partner
Silence my only friend
Never again will I experience silence
The ringing bells tell me that it's the end

The death of that friend
