The Silence of the Drums

The sound is strangely silent
no more do I hear
The beating of the drums
I heard within my ears

It is somehow deafeningly quiet
the stillness could drive me insane
I'm used to hearing the drums beat
within my heart and within my brain

They beat out a happy love dance
a dance that was at its best
One that could never be beaten
and could be felt inside our breasts

The drums...they kept me going
when all seemed hopeless and lost
What I'd give to hear them again
...almost at any cost

But the drums--they now are silent
they stopped as soon as you left
Never will they start beating again
in my head or in my chest
