The Noise

Sounds

The silence was deafening

They couldn't stand the emptiness

The loneliness on the outside

The space on the inside

Looking for something to fill the void

They needed it there

Wanted it now

It would be insane without it

Could not be avoided

Their thoughts would hurt them

There was nothing in this quiet

The answers were not there

The space could not be filled

The pain continued

But only for them

They needed something

The addiction would not cease

The silence was drowning them

They had to have it

The noise
