Deafening Silence
The feelings you can't share out loud
My thoughts are feelings never said.
As quiet, but as loud as silence.
.....
Silence hits like a tidal wave, washing away a veil of comfort
I shudder in the cloak of loneliness that’s left
Leaving me cold and empty, shivering in a void of lost connections
Echoing a foretelling of a future’s past unchanged
Numbed by the touch of a cold reality, the weight of nothing bears heavy on my soul
Crippled by the absence of company, my depression creeps with a loudness unheard
Enhancing the eerie silence with a deathly hollow that I cannot fill
.....

Your acrostic poem is packed with emotions. The loneliness and pain are clearly felt by your reader. Well done.
This is hopefully a top story and a profound strike to the ultimate sense of void and silence we so often ignore.
