Yesterday morning as I walked to class, I became aware of a frightening level of silence. It was that silence so loud it seemed to reach the threshold of feeling. Only quiet footsteps and the occasional bicyclist broke through the awful stillness.
This morning I decided that, rather than face that complete quiet, I would listen to my iPod. Oh cruel iPod. The song that's been haunting me all morning is Christina Perri's The Lonely.
"The silent sound of loneliness wants to follow me to bed"
