15. Silence

Hello my little brother
the world's gone gray tonight
as far as I can tell
there's not another soul in sight

and you're so still.

won't you smile again?
i remember it was like a sparkling light
(though i didn't know it then)
but even you've gone gray tonight

and you're so ashen.

i wish you'd talk to me
your mind and mouth reunite

but your silence only seals
my aching heart
for i'm the only life here tonight

and you're so cold.
