Love Poem: Sound of Silence

Sound of Silence

Every raindrop shouts, drumming on the roof
Its violent rhythm embraces the heavy air
Strumming monotonously on a pale glass window, 
I'm lying in bed, his smile still plays on my head
Indulging myself in sentiment, I reminisce how he stared... 
so sweet as freshly baked gooey butter cake. 
'Twas yesterday when I glimpsed his face through the door. 
My heart beat too fast, what a dumb coward I was. 
I've just felt lifeless for he stole my soul
Please unchain my heart, completely trapped. 
Despite the noise of rain, it's still a melody with no tone. 
I should say "it's enough" in a flood of tears, 
unrescued and drowned to the sound of silence.
