Silence

Silent screams echoed

Rocked the house upside down

As the knife plunged silently

And twisted in the loud heart

Daggers of accusation

Emanated silently from her

She could hear the silent rip

The flesh cracked open

The colors of the painting

The patterns of the tapestry

Swirled in silence before her

Her eyes wept silently

The house was void of life now

Silent as a tomb

Padded feet trod silently

Even as the air stood still

Bones coated with flesh and blood

Celebrated silently

No hearts to disturb the silence with beats

He left with her wedding ring silently
