"Sweet" Silence

I tell them you're gone,

And they say it's good;

Space to think,

Time to breathe.

But the silence haunts me,

Constant chatter destroyed;

They've killed you,

And I let them.

Please come back,

You're the buddy I always wanted;

However mean you were,

However fake you were.

They think the silence is sweet,

But it's not the nice kinda sweet.

Its the horrible kind,

Overdosed on sugar

And oversprayed with deceit.

I'm empty,

My mind is blank,

I am nothing without you.

Brainwashed,

Just like everyone else.
