Each Moment of Silence
Each moment of silence is a scream
Of murdered seconds, lost and gone
A haunting absence, a broken dream
Of time that we cannot prolong
The stillness fills the empty space
Like echoes of a lifeless past
A void that cannot be replaced
A breath that's taken its last
And in this hush, we feel the weight
Of moments we can't reclaim
The memories of what was great
Now silenced by time's cruel game
But in this silence, we can hear
The whispers of what's yet to come
The hopes and dreams that we hold dear
And the beating of our hearts as one
For though each moment that has gone
Is lost to us forevermore
We can still create a song
Of love and beauty to adore
So let us scream each murdered second
And mourn the time we cannot save
But let us also live each moment
And make the most of what we've gained.
