Silent outside except the tall marshy Grass blowing in the wind. Shots sounded in the distance the Most noise we heard all morning. They were faint noises that rippled The edge of the deck of my stand. As a minute passed and another minute, Finally I heard the noise of my step dad’s Silent low voice, look out next to that Tree. While silence came in the room, I saw The stream of his breath fill the Cold foggy air. As we wail patiently staring into The marshy grass, the footsteps draw Closer and closer. Finally an opening comes and bang, bang, Bang the loud ear piercing noise trailed off. We lay silent staring at the ceiling Waiting for the time to come and to go back. As we walk through the marsh, grass Its silent, silence is interrupted by sound of The voice of my step dad saying softly, “we’ve Got blood.” We walk silent along the trail until we Walk silent into the 8 point buck laying Silent DEAD. Silence dies away with the noise of Happiness and cheering. I’ve shot my first buck.

 * The House of Terror**

The silence came into the room As she was laying down to rest, But then she heard a snapping Noise from the not so silent outdoors. As she came out of the night She heard a gnawing sound that startled Her, she wondered where it came from. She went back inside, the silence Came into the room. She then heard A shot sound in the distance And footsteps dying away.

 * Lost in this Love**

Again tonight we have another argument, I didn’t know what else to say I’m trying to get us settlement but it just too hard like a footsteps died away The silence came into the room, right when you started snapping noise Later in the afternoon, none of us wanted to make a voice I’ve tried to look into your eyes, but you kept looking away at the other directions. I have tried apologize, but I guess you haven’t mention As it’s getting dark, I went and lay silent Wondering why does it gotta be so hard, and why does it gotta be this violent I couldn’t get it out of my mind, so I came out of the night with tears Tears rolling down on my face I’ve tried to do everything right, but it seems to be like more mistakes I guess I was too blind, for not seeing it straight The pain that I was put through, will soon turn around at you one day. Am I being too blind, for taking the blame when it isn’t my fault I really do need to survive, and really need to stay away from this kind of love Am I being too nice, or am I being to soft Am I treating you right, or am I treating you wrong Am I holding it too tight, or and I just doing it too tough And here I am again, trying to understand By silent on the bed and stared at the ceiling Trying to forget whatever things we had bad, as what others was telling As I’m lost in this love tonight, I don’t really know what to do Sucking here in the middle of the night, having no clue.

As we were sitting there talking and drinking In the room we hear a loud knocking At the door: Boom, boom, boom. As we listened, silence fell In the room. One of us opened the door And a shot sounded in the distance. It was our enemy that came to say hello. As I was sitting there scared Out of my mind, They all rushed in from the front and from behind Then the war began. We fought and fought until we all fell down. It was horrifying to see my friends die And it made my life hard to say good bye. Now I lay silent on the hard wood floor staring At the ceiling hearing a snapping noise As they fight and shoot one another. The sirens of the cop cars roll in. Everyone ran as if they ran for their lives. It a second I felt a pain in my stomach. As I laid there, footsteps died away. I felt like I was betrayed And there was silence outside. Voices Trailed off. In that instance I had died.

 * My Bedroom Silence**

I lay silent as the silence comes Into the room and stare at the ceiling. I enjoy the silence that fell on the room To think just two hours before All the commotion that didn’t see to go away And now calms the lake On a moony summer night. The time Seems to melt away like butter in a pan of fresh Scrambled eggs. And so I peacefully drift To sleep.

 * Crash Corner**

Silence fell on the room as the nurses Left. I lay silent in agony while I stare At the ceiling, I kept asking myself how am I ok. How don’t I have broken bones, I could Have sworn I heard a snapping noise while My body was being punished inside the car. I just hope I don’t Have to hear the gnawing sound of tires on Pavement at the place I now call, Crash Corner.

 * The Night a Great Became a Legend**

The Notorious B.I.G. was sitting in his car The night of March 4th, 1997. It was silent outside; a surprise for being in L.A. But that silence was broken when two men came out of the night And multiple gunshots sounded in the distance. There was a snapping noise in the car; seconds later Those two men’s voices trailed off and the footsteps died Away into the night as they fled from the scene of the crime. The silence fell on the room of the car. Biggy lay silent with a blank stare at the ceiling With a hole in his chest; at least he died being known as the best.

 * Death**

Death is like a road of wonder And grief of the ones lost. Silence filled with emotion of Sadness, waiting to burst out Into screams of “I’ll never Forget you, and I’ll miss you.” Wanting to tell someone Everything you never did, feeling Regret inside. Death is like staring at a Blank piece of paper, no words Written to show emotion. It gets silent. Left of memories unforgotten Stories to be told of that on so Great someone who is no longer Here. Six feet under, people walking all Over them, going on with life.

As I may silent on the cot next to My aunt is the hospice room, staring At the ceiling, and smelling the sanitizing Cleansers. I thought nothing but Thought of sorrow and despair. Her time was coming to a fast end As her words and breaths faded in And out rhythmically, making time With her more precious. Just days after I saw her last, we Received a devastating call, my grandma’s Voice trailed off on the phone as she Told us the news, my beloved aunt had Passed. Driving home that could winter Afternoon with tears flooding my face And my heart tearing into pieces, we Couldn’t believe the recent news. As the Funeral seeing her cold body in the Casket. Harsh reality set in, “staring at Her glistening beauty, her angel has become My guardian for eternity.” Weeks later I once again lay in Silence in my bed, with tears streaking Down my cheeks, at last the dots have Now been fully connected. My second Mother and true best friend had finally Left the world for good.

 * The Night to Remember**

Silent outside, staring at the ceiling. Soft footseteps die away until the next day. Then the gray will fade away. His warm arms wrapped around my satin skin Feeling the breath of a whisper up against my ear. The green knitted blanket slowly falling Dissolve the goosebumps on my bare skin. The wind blowing threw the tall dampened grass Around the silver 4x4. His voice trails off and silence grows again Feeling in slow motion a warm touch From lips so fine up against mine Unbaringly not wanting to let it go. My hands shape as they lift to his day old shaved face. I close my heavy eyes and say good night. Knowing he will be by my side when the morning arises.

 * Hooligans**

The game is over And is already midnight We are going out of the subway And is silent outside. When we are in the streets we Start to hear a snapping noise, It was the baseball bats and the metal bars from the supporters of The other team. In that moment a huge fight starts In the middle of the street when A shot sounded in the distance, it was My friend Pablo. After that was all Silent.

 * Opening Night**

As the lights went down in the audience And the curtain slowly opens the silence came into the room. As we all stand there in the silence waiting For the music to start. The only thing you can hear onstage Was the synchronized breathing of all of us. Then right before the music and lights turned on You could hear one voice that broke the silence And that one voice was Julie. Then slowing as we danced on You could hear more screams breaking through The silence’s tight hold. As we closed near the end Slow the screams faded back out till all I could hear Were my parents. Then the silence fell on the room Once more. We got up and walked into the silence Our footsteps died away with every step we took.

 * Dream**

Adrian Peterson heard a snapping noise. When he stood up the silence came into the room. A shot sounded in the distance. As Adrian ran to the ripped edge of the deck A gnawing sound filled the environment. A sasquatch charged. Adrian found his dog as he lay silent. 3 hours later he woke up staring at the ceiling The random chaos was all a dream.

 * His Voice Trailed Off**

Out of the darkness beyond the windows Silence came into the room Illuminating all the words they knew they’d never say The silence between them was like a void The longer they waited, the farther they were Sucked into it The harder it was to escape it. They turned and left Listening as each other’s footsteps died away.

 * The Darkness**

A snapping noise outside in the bushes What’s out there? Gnawing, rustling, is it getting closer? Too hard to tell in the black night Its getting closer it seems Louder, faster When you seem to reach out and touch it Nothing, gone, silence. Fear again persuading you to believe what’s not there.

 * Alone**

It was nothing but silent outside, with A few sounds of the ear piercing crickets. We sit there on a cold hard bench, Gazing out into the dark but yet moon Lighted night. We sit together hand in hand, Both watching the water rippled against The edge of the deck. Each splash making A soft snapping noise. We sit there, just The two of us, feeling like it should never End, until finally his footsteps died away & His voice trailed off, & I was alone once Again.

 * Last Mistake**

His voice trailed off As his footsteps died away A silence fell on the room Now I am alone… A minute passed and another minute As I lay silent, Staring at the ceiling We took places opposite each other You loved me, now I love you This heart break is so loud Like a shot sounded in the distance Now I’m deafened by your silence Blinded by the tears & forgiveness is something you won’t find here You said you were strong enough You were wrong So I got caught up in your game But I hope you know you’re my last mistake.

A minute passed, and another minute… I stared at the ceiling as tears filled my swollen eyes. Laying there silent, with only one thing on my mind. For a moment it felt like it wasn’t real; like the world had stopped. His voice trailed off, “I love you” was now a thing of the past. Shutting my eyes for a moment, and re-awakening sonly after. Filled in a place of silence, my footsteps were the only thing I heard. I was soon in disbelief. I knew I was all alone and nothing could Change it. A slight glance reminded me of a thousand happy times, All to be gone in just one day. The silence of my footsteps slowly died away now… If only I could say this was a bad dream.

 * Silent Horror: The Dark Forest by My Cabin**

Her voice trailed off, all Of a sudden it was silent Outside, the footsteps just died Away from the porch. I’m in my home With a couple of friends, the silence came into the room Making everyone wonder. Then a wolf came out of the night With a gnawing sound. Now we’re all wondering What will happen next.

 * The Buck Season**

Five seconds left on the clock Bucks are down by two. Bogut inbounds the ball to Jennings Jennings sprints down court And throws up a prayer The footsteps died away The stadium lay silent A snapping noise breaks the silence As the ball bounced off the rim The Buck’s lose.

 * Faded Memories**

The black moody sky lay silent The only light Coming from dim flickering street lights The streets are full of died away footsteps Which used to be full of life and color. Life of the human race Life of animals and pets Color withing every single unique fingertip passing by. Footprints engraved on the sidewalk From the multiple different shoes Caressing each grey cement block. The loud voices, Worried voices, Desperate voices, All voices trailing off into the silent night outside Which holds such peace and tranquility The black moody sky looks down At the street I used to call home.

 * The Wish**

As you hear rustling and screaming And yelling and thuds. A shriek came out of the night. A shot sounded in the distance and a snapping Noise sounded and ended as soon as it came. The footsteps died away and all was quiet. The voices had trailed off and it was Dead silent out in the silent cool night. She looked down as that once life filled Body how lay silent. Watching as the heat left the body. Her voice trailed off as she stopped murmuring and the silence came into the room. As the silence slowly engulfed the entire room She wished a sound, crack anything To break it. But as she was about to Come back to realization, she drifted off to A place that understood what she nearly wished for. As she lay Her head against the wall and folded into an abnormal position and finally let go. She sat back and let out a whimper Then went back to staring at the dark wall. This isn’t what she wanted she just wished For silence but this was too much. As she Heard a faint noise she snapped back to the Reality searching for something, anything but all she Could hear was the faint whisper of “careful what you wish for.” As she stared at the cool unforgiving ceiling.

 * Magic**

It was silent outside Inside the room was thousands Of roaring fans waiting for it to start. The lights then died out And the silence came into the room. A rhythmic riff from an over-driven Six string starts playing. A man steps out into the light Onstage and the crowd lets their excitement Be heard. The bank kicks in And the sound of guitars, drums, And singing fill the room from the floor To the ceiling and every inch in between. The singing voices trail off late that night after Hours of the magic show.

Mary’s voice trailed off As she left the room. No one spoke as her Footsteps died away. Suddenly a snapping Noise came out of The night. Everyone just sat and Stared at the ceiling. The noise stopped and Silence fell on the room again.

 * Fairytale**

I lay silent listening to my heart and pictured Your beautiful face. I don’t want anything More but you, my love, my life, my world And anything but hate. I stare at the ceiling Wondering how tomorrow is going to be, if we ended With just a word of good bye. I don’t want anymore Lies, slowly his footsteps died away. Soon It was silent outside, I tell myself that he’ll be back Someday. I asked myself: why? What did I do to deserve this? To have to hear the simple words of good bye From your lips. If only I were lucky and fate would present me With just one wish. I would turn back time and start a new With a gentle kiss. To be in your arms is something I’ve always loved. But now you’re away – all I could do is imagine the impossible And give a slight shrug. Days will pass by And I will wait. Days will pass by and bring us fate. Soon you’ll be back, back to me. We’ll have an ending with happily ever After like Cinderella and Prince Charming was to be.

 * Silence**

Not able to hear it, see it, touch it, but to feel it Sensing as it came out of the night and entered the room It comes through the air in a thick haze Cutting your breath short causing a voice to trail off. Filling into your lungs, making every breath feel as it if pulses through the room. Sounds of footsteps died away causing the foggy haze to be more profound and noticed A snapping noise breaks the fog, echoing into the air Soon the gnawing sounds captures the room with the anticipation of speaking The haze made into the room sealing the room at all possible movement. Hesitation of speaking stirred into the haze until the call of dinner broke the silence The movement of people causes the haze to move into the dark silent outside.

 * Dance**

Gather up spinning every piece of hair Into place. Shimmering sparks pour down. I come out Of the night as everyone stays behind. Wave Like the ocean, waving one hand up, and one to either side Spot lights on, silence fell on the room. Guns, grenades, pistols, fights To stay alive, to stay longer, Standing out in the night, bullets that fly Pass by, it was the longest 5 minutes of my life. The footsteps died away The war is over. I came back to life Reality war was everything.

**The Silent Cry** By Phong

A minute passed, and another minute… Silent echoes disrupting the night. Sounds invaded the room, Whispers of an ill-forgotten past; Gnawing at the height of laughter. Seconds tick, hushed by maiden’s soft prayer; Enveloping the scenery, corroding the earth. Hours stand still as the footsteps died away; Hope became day and day became night. A fragile body, consumed by shadow’s hunger, Lay silent; unmoving unchanging. A stream of red water trickled slowly from a hole; Dehydrating the body as silence came into the room. Slowly, cautiously, the body slid from its place <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 110%;">To be gently embraced by a bundle of cloth. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 110%;">Deprived of food and water, it lay still; <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 110%;">Its voice muffled from years of screaming. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 110%;">Lost, forgotten; abandoned by fate. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 110%;">Days go by, without a sound; <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 110%;">Without the chirp of a bug to the whistle of the wind. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 110%;">The air quickly dampens <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 110%;">Merged with the scent of rotting flesh. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 110%;">It scorches the nose and burns the eye <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 110%;">And yet the body did not flinch. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 110%;">A light creak marks the presence of the man; <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 110%;">The stealer of dreams and the destroyer of ambition. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 110%;">As he slowly edged toward the unseen door, <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 110%;">Alcohol was dancing merrily tonight. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 110%;">As the door lay ajar, <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 110%;">Sounds disrupted the silence; <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 110%;">From the swish of cloth to falling tears. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 110%;">But silence quickly returned, <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 110%;">Accompanied by regret and shame. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 110%;">When will the pain be forgotten? <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 110%;">When will the nightmare end? <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 110%;">The body was already dead.

I thought I would always be there Never leaving him alone in the dark It was silent outside, a shot would sound in the distance In the clear cutting, I pulled the trigger And there he was laying in the sand I asked myself: what did I do? Killed my best friend Knowing he was already in heaven How there was nothing left for me but to Walk away from dead Lennie
