The Words To The Sound Of Silence Novels & Stories

Neither spoke. Nate stared at him. Max stared back. And in the silence between them, everything they'd spent months refusing to say seemed to gather at once. The door remained open. Neither of them moved. Neither looked away.

When i am listening to the tune of your voice plucking the strings of my heart and all i can breathe is you. I like that comfortable quiet that sneaks in upon us in a murmur of solace, that quiet that requires two to make. That is my favourite kind silence. I found that silences talk, and that they are loud, and opinionated. I learnt that silences say more than words ever speak I learnt that we never hear them sing, 'cause we just don't listen—Amanda.

"In it. Alone." She looked at him. At the water on his face. At the way his shirt stuck to his shoulders. At his eyes, watching her with that intensity she'd come to recognize. "We're not alone," she said quietly. "No." He met her eyes. "We're not." The rain hammered the ground. Thunder rumbled again, closer this time. The world narrowed to this doorway, this moment, these two people. Neither spoke. The silence wasn't empty. It was full. Full of everything they hadn't said. Full of all the moments that had led here.

Her head throbbed. Why couldn’t she focus? Why did noises keep blending into each other? Why did faces look too bright? Why did sounds echo too loudly? She steadied herself on the wall, pressing her palm hard against the cool surface. “You’re fine,” she whispered. “You just need to stay calm.” But calm wouldn’t come.

She tried to roll onto her side, her arms wrapped around herself, but Jozef held her in place, his frantic face swimming in and out of her vision. Suddenly the orchestra seemed louder. They were playing an instrumental version of 'The Sound of Silence'. Tears gathered in her eyes as she realized how perfect the song was. With Jozef she was surrounded by silence, and like the lyrics of the song, the silence had become an old friend. Without the constant chatter of voices, she could hear the beat of her own heart, see the expressions on her lover's face as they sat together speaking their silence.

Lightsticks beamed brightly in the darkness, flooding the space with vibrant hues. "Silence speaks for those who listen." Kyle's magnetic voice came through as he jumped down the swing. The music gradually grew louder. "This song tells the story of a boy who took forever to understand the whispers of his silence, finally losing the girl he loves," he continued. "Hope you'll enjoy it."

She opened her mouth. Nothing came out. The Silence pressed harder. Kael dropped beside her, gripping her shoulders. “Sing with me,” he said. He started low, rough, off-key. Aria followed. Her voice was a whisper at first. Then stronger. Ash joined in, cursing and singing at the same time. Lir, tears streaming down his face, added his voice. Sound filled the circle. Weak. Broken. Human. The Silence recoiled. The mist pulled back an inch.

Silence. The silence was so loud. It carried about the ashes of memories, walking by and sprinkling their memoirs like carriages. it was the kind of silence that could choke you without holding you, the silently toxic kind, slowly circling you as if it were playing a childhood game and then... bam. you are dead
