Silence breaks
Silence left me all alone

Amid the crowd I’m on my own

Lost like footprints in the sand

Crying out, a helping hand.
A heart once beating full of joy

Now a broken children’s toy

Childhood memories torn apart

By a secret, how did it start.
Is there an answer I wonder

Without words I don’t know how

Is it too late to start anew

Or has silence just turned the screw.
