Silence
By Sofia Sacre
Silence,
Silence does not exist in this world
It can never be quiet
It can never be still
You see my love
Silence does not exist
The water, it speaks to us
The wind replies back
A conversation is born
A Conversation exists
Listen,
It’s noisy, it’s loud
Listen well,
Your thoughts, your ideas, each has a sound
A unique sound
Music
To you,
Is it music, is it noise?
Hey!
Im speaking to you!
Listen!
It’s overwhelming the noise
It’s everywhere, sounds, music, notes
Music – what is music?
Notes?
Melody?
Footsteps?
Traffic
The River Flow
Everything
Everything is music, everything is noise

I Have a Broken Heart
By Sofia Sacre
I’ve broken my heart
Once
It’s been broken before
Many times before
But I’ve broken it once
I could almost hear it shatter
Like glass against cement
The sound of painful decisions
It will never truly mend
This is a different kind of break
Self inflicted, more permanent
I broke another in the process
Which I cannot repair
It cut deeper than anything before
I broke my heart
Once
And gave a piece away
