Sounds of silence

coming home, closing the door

nothing moves, nothing stirs

only a lonely house sighs

he knows, his once and only happiness went

without regret, through that same, now closed door

leaving only sounds of silence, sounds that should be heard

but she's gone, gone, gone, a harsh verbal exchange,... gone

shattering his believe in vows, once spoken once so true

now swiftly have forgotten every word

and in a sense, this now quiet is actually not a disturbance

but a blessing, as a cloaked certain peace is descending on him

soothing his weary mind

he knows the times, they will be tough, but honestly, to be true

he now has a peace of mind, he has not had, for a very long, long time.
