deafening silence

It's the place between words, a slight pause before listening and after talking―silence. Poets and philosophers have fallen in love with the idea of what is left unsaid: the space where nothing exists but the shapeless abyss. Sometimes defined as a deafening void, silence is an art. It comes with its own grammar: forging words that go with any sound or message is no trivial thing. Silence is a dynamic and ever changing force. It's been revealed through the study of magnetic resonance that our brain is able to hear silence and it anticipates the sound.

Personally, silence gives me the most head-wrecking and heart-wrenching sharpness. You know what drives me nuts? When I am ignored like I’m barely visible. Silence is indeed powerful; it’s conclusively deafening.
