Silence.

It was a macabre silence

I have never heard anything

Quite

So 

Loud

But all my words

Couldn't come 

I couldn't breathe in a river of blood

I wonder if the clouds hear me

And weep for pity

And when words fall on deaf ears

They are not words at all

They do not break the silence

And I, with my death

Might end this siege

This plague upon our house

But corpses do not speak

Do not hear 

It was a macabre silence

You could not take it 

It was not something you could bear alone

My cracked heart and spilled blood 

I have borne that alone

I could have killed you

If I had had the heart

To show you my pain 

And Kuanyin bore

A bloodstained child

A live monster

And a dead one

If you had known her pain

If you had anything left of you 

She would have destroyed you

As you destroy us

Do you enjoy passing your time

In macabre silence?

A laugh, a cry

Is too much music to bear

You find comfort

In emptiness for an empty heart

It is as if in your weakness

You have cut yourself off

You cannot bear the drumming 

Of hearts beating in unison

I am sorry

That you have lived your life in macabre silence

A lifetime of words

Upon deaf ears 

But now

You have condemned me too. 

It was a macabre silence

I have never heard anything

Quite

So 

Loud.
