Emotional Silence

O silent tower
Alone in the night
Covered in shadow
Hidden from light

Silently huddled
Away in a room
Alone and afraid
Torn apart by the gloom

Sunrise is hear
Dawn coming fast
Wash away gloom
Happiness here at last

O silent tower
Bathed in the light
No longer alone
Everything is alright
