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!!
