The Sound Of Silence

I have heard the sound of silence

I heard everything

When you didn’t even utter a word

I could feel all the pain

That was given to you by me

When you didn’t even bother to complain

But today I accept-

I knew everything; I felt everything

Everything that you could not speak to me

I knew but I ignored,

You didn’t complain

I didn’t bother

Words left unspoken

Revolving around both of us

Yet none of us could dare to speak

Silence prevailed all around

I couldn’t hear you

But I could hear the silence

It spoke to me in times of distress

When you were away

It revealed to me all your hidden arguments

But damn me! I shuffled it off

And now-

When you are gone

The silence has engulfed me once again

It tortures me;

It argues with me

It holds me responsible for all what happened

But I haven’t changed yet,

Like an ignorant-I say to it even today-

It was your fault..

Yes it was yours…

You never complained;

Thats why I never listened

It was you who made me deaf!!
