The Other Side of Silence
Everyone tells me they're sorry,
Says that they know how I feel.
Of what it is like to lose all your kin,
In a moment that hardly seemed real.
…
You've never said that you understood though,
Is it because you have changed?
Losing your father on the same night as me,
On that night of cold wind and cold rain.
…
We don't seem to converse that often,
Too haunted are we by that day?
Or is it that we know each other?
That there's nothing at all we can say?
…
I can't sleep a wink, it always comes back,
My mum and my dad, Felix too.
Nightmares in mind, I can only escape,
When turning my thoughts towards you.
…
Little sleep during night, haunted by day,
Months have passed and still I feel weak.
But one way or the other, I'm grateful to you,
For in our silence we speak.
