Silence

Before- There was Silence.
Only disturbed by the ticking..
That ticking which now seems so miniscule in my past.
That ticking I now wish would have been the end of it all.
Life continued forward, and a new adventure had fallen before my feet.
The ticking ailed me still, yet I pushed on.
Curious to find the noise that would ease the sound..
Of the constant ticking.
I should have wished for Silence.
A voice softened the ticking
Life moved forward in the blink of an eye.
The ticking muted.
The voice soothing my every ailment.
My ailment had been lost..
The sound of shattered glass and screaming ringing in my ears..
Could not be muted.
Overwhelming fear and sorrow..
The ticking ringing in my ears.
The screaming could not be muted..
I should have wished for Silence.
