When will it end?

Yelling through the pain, but no one hears.

Say it softer, it falls on deaf ears.

When will it end?

All that is heard is yelling, so he does not bother.

She says it softer, yet it's still met with silence.

When. Will it end?

The silence is deafening.

The shouting is ear-shattering.

No words are spoken.

Space filled with silence.

Has it ended?

Days go by

Awaken by a broken silence

But is it too late? Can the damage be undone?

Yelling through the pain, it fell on deaf ears.

Said it softer, it falls on deaf ears.

Weaponizing silence, now no one cares/

When will it end?

When does the yelling stop?

When is the silence no longer weaponized?
