The Ultimate Silence

After the loudness 
Comes the quietness..

The ultimate silence 

Founded by disobedience 

Grounded by circumstance 

Life as I know it..

Will soon become a memory 

Nothing more 

Nothing less

Of a bitter sweet rememberance

The time is coming 

Sooner rather than later 

I'm growing more anxious 

I'm losing more patience 

I'm losing my Mom 

To a terminal occurrence

I'm barely hanging onto the ledge

My thoughts pushing me 

Close to the edge

Losing her, how will I cope?

Losing her, how will I grow?

Losing her is becoming 

My reality 

Losing her is going 

To be a true tragedy 

She's going to be a 

Beautiful bright Angel 

I'll treat her kinder, your majesty 

God give me the strength 

To accept the things

I cannot change

And God, give me the strength 

To be humbled for my 

Remaining days

The battle that's the loudest 

Becomes a war of quietness 

As we try to process 

Her death coming soon

Becoming the ultimate..

Silence.
