Silence

In the dark it was born,
In the light it would have died.
Without the love he was torn,
It was the night that silence lied.

In the dark it grew with strength,
In the light no one cried,
Without the love it had convinced him.
It was the night that silence lied.

In the dark it consumed him,
In the light he had died.
Without the love life meant little
It was the night that silence lied.

In the dark it was born.
the first part is talking about how the boy was alone and then the "dark" is depression.

The next part is talking about him ebecoming very depressed and losing hope.

The next stanza is talking about him commiting suicide because life no longer meant anything to him.

By silence lied I mean the lonliness he felt convinced him that he didn't belong and that no one loved him when in truth that wasn't the case. He was just convinced that it was.
