Not a word could be heard
The silence complete
The cord it seemed
Was cut
Her heart in her mouth
She listened again
But the silence
Had shut everything up
Some would say
Silence has no sound
But its impact is so devastating
It washes over and drowns your heart
A process really quite castigating
She strained again
To hear a sound
A word
Another heart beating
But all she heard
Was a dripping tap
And the sound of her own heart beating
