The World, Silenced

Your life can change in a moment

Sounds that once filled the world now fade,

In a moment, everything changed, dreams frayed.

Life’s music muted, a sudden, harsh divide,

Echoes of silence where noise used to reside.

Now, memories of an accident haunt the still air,

Captured in a void, a silent despair.

Everything is quiet, but the pain is there.

Acrostic
