Close your eyes
Close them tight
To try to hold back the tears

Pound the doors
Scream until you’re hoarse
But there’s no one there to hear

Listen once more
To the children’s laughs
Like an echo within your head

Find that your dreams
Relived again and again
Are now forever dead

Search for a memory
The smallest thought
To occupy your mind

And yet, the sound
Of monotone silence
Is all you can find

Bang the door
Yell as loud as you can
Try to escape in vain

Yet by the time you get out
All that will be waiting
Is rain
