Silence

All I have ever known is the silence. The long stretch of time that seems never ending. That is never ending.

I was young when it happened. The accident. I can't recall all that happened, but I know that the first thing that was hurt when the semi crashed into my family's mini van, was my hearing. I woke up in the hospital the next day with no family, no love, no compassion, not even my voice or my hearing. Of coarse my hearing wasnt completely gone. I could still hear the whispers of what people said about me, but I ignored them. Biting down my fear and resentment. I could also still hear my piano....

The piano is my love, my life. It is the only true thing that will ever listen to me and actually hear me. The only thing that I can truly hear with its warm twinkling voice enveloping me. The only thing that has kept me alive all these years. At least, until Josh Dale came along.....
