The music has stopped playing for me.

My life put on eternal pause

What used to be my strongest strength

Is now my strongest flaw.

I cannot hear and

I feel alone.

Trapped in a room with soundless sound.

Where has all the music gone?

The music has stopped playing for me.

I see the notes and the keys depress

But no sweet sounds wash over me

Like the ocean waves I desperately miss.

The world is cruel and mute for me

And I'm forced to drown in a silent sea

For the music has stopped playing for me.

And now, I can't stop the tears that fall

For I feel alone in this world of noise

That I can't hear.

I feel as if I'm dying,

Day by day,

More and more as

The memories of lyric melodies are slipping

Faster than my grip on my

Sanity.

The piano no longer plays with me.

For the music has stopped playing for me.

The love and passion that was once in my eyes

Has died.

And will never live again so long as

The world is cruel and mute

For me.

Getting back on track with these challenges! :D

This challenge was given to me by Original Queen Xalele, and the criteria was:

Gabriel's life has always been centered on his love and passion for the piano. After the shooting, he was beyond crushed when he realized that he couldn't hear. Write about his feelings, and how the quiet the world suddenly seems. Take into account that he's still VERY weak and incapacitated to a certain degree from the brain trauma. Put a very strong emphasis on how distraught he is. Also, you must include the ocean/waves in whatever way.

Gabriel is her OC, btw :) I hope you like it, QX!

Also, does everyone know what day it is?

TODAY IS THE FIRST DAY OF AUGUST! :D

Hooray for 8 months! 4 months to go! :D
