SWEET SIMPLE SILENCE

So many things happening
So many things happening at once
I'm carrying such a heavy burden
Every song has a sad sound

Does anyone know what I'm going through?
Does anybody care enough to listen to me?
Why, tell me, why is this happening now?
I'm so down I cannot even sing

Crying.....then weeping.....then crying again
Crying until the tears are all gone
Suddenly:
     sweet simple silence

Alone with only my thoughts, my soul feels cleansed

                In the end when my heart begins to mend
                I pray and thank God for many things,
                               but mostly for my Best Friend
