There’s an idleness in silence
It stretches straight on through the void
A commitment to the violence
That sound would soon destroy
Can you hear it in a echo
Of a match stick, dropped to spark
A reminder, a memento
Of a once beat beating heart
How it pains me to mistake it
For a single dying note
When in reality that second
Was just the moment the word choked
It forgot what next to utter
The umm, uh, the like
Like the pause caught in a stutter
Before the word wins out the fight
It’s the moment that the breaks
Catch upon the ice
In the silence the car skates
Before the screeching comes to life
Oh they say it’s ever fleeting
You can barely tell the sound
But it did die for a second
Just enough to calm me down
