A Wish For Silence

Sometimes I wish I could not hear. Sounds are too much. Voices of people tear my eardrums. I hate listening to words that hurt and scar. I wish I could not hear most of the time. But then I listen for the beauty in things. I listen to the music in my earbuds. I listen to the music of nature. I listen to your voice. Sometimes I wish I could not hear. but you make me want to listen. Your voice is my perfect symphony. Sometimes I wish I could not hear. But if I could not hear your voice it would be torment to my heart.
