silent noise destroys

i lost you out there in this world of noise,
our love, our silence...deafening and cheap.
cold nights i lay alone and wish to feel warm.
i wake with the sun...nightmares in a bed of one.

all the words floating around me, yet i have no voice.
thoughts comprising a trivial tug of war; pride winning.
coil a rope around my heart and any thought of optimism,
while it's anchored in merciless, murderous quicksand.

promises have become our new currency, some were wasted.
just a stupid girl dreaming of one lasting second chance.
your heart, a home for my heart to live in for eternity,
is now a mirage on my horizon i'm barely able to believe in.

waited until the sun downed and the stars rose for an echo.
the sound of your heart, a glorious beat my ears feared lost.
days passed and i didn't hear the return of its sacred rhythm.
i packed up my heart and soul 'cause i was too easy to let go.
