The Quiet Sound of Losing

Silence is so loud sitting alone with only thoughts
In the still dark is where the left behind fall apart
Love is a quiet storm when it pulls its arrows back from a heart
Every whisper of before feels like rain falling in sheets of hurt
Numb feelings, empty cavern, nothing fills the black with light
Could years give peace to a soul burning in the ember glow of regret
Exiled tears trace hushed breaths sitting alone with only ghosts

So beautiful 😍
That last line was powerful ❤️ Well done ❤️
I feel that pain too, humans need other humans, we are not made for eternal solitude, just when we choose it. So heartfelt,
I felt that. Very goo poetry!
Hi-i ~ Is Silence really 'Golden?' You are always into old quotes: Poet 'Carlyle' once said, "Speech is Silver & Silence is Golden." - Shush - j-bud.in.l.a.
Well that hurt... Little too relatable for me but I enjoyed it all the same!! Great work as always Will!
This is excellent, Will. I especially love "Every whisper of before feels like rain falling in sheets of hurt." Well done.
Beautiful.
I struggle with that at times and know many others do too. But I am getting better at it, I think. Excellent dark acrostic Will! 😊
Wow! The third line really got me, it was so good I had to read it twice!!
