Silence

Can you hear the whispering
drifting in the air,
and only faintly hinting
that someone is there?

Can you feel their presence
lingering all around?
It's the dead calling within silence;
you cannot hear a sound.

They beckon for more and more
to join their empty abyss
because those corrupt to the core
deserve nothing more than this.

The horde of sinners all around me
just wait for my suicide
since it's so hard to really see
how in Him I am able to confide.

I asked myself, "Does God exist?
Is he even really there?
I'm about to cut my wrist
yet he doesn't seem to care..."

but just before I give up and die
I think of my loved ones' pain;
all the tears that they would cry
falling as hard as the rain.

I think of all the good things in life
that I would throw away
all because it is so hard to strive
when my heart was cast astray.

I am weak; I've given in.
The answer is quite clear
that since I am drowning in sin
I know my end is near.

What was I thinking in my head?
No one really cares
if I'm alive or if I'm dead,
hell no one knows I'm there.

What good things would I throw away
if I just disappeared?
My soul has already fallen astray;
I'm not worth a single tear.....

So now I have made my choice,
and I know what I must do.
I have no more to say; I have no voice
in this decision needed to be made true.

Can you hear the whispering
drifting in the air,
and only faintly hinting
that someone is there?

Can you feel it lingering around?
Can you feel its presence?
Though you cannot hear a sound,
I am calling to you within silence.....
