First Line Writing Prompt

I thought the sirens would never stop blaring
The sheep just stood there mouths agape
Empty eyes just black and staring
Like the silence left behind

I thought the sirens would never stop blaring
The lights the mirror to my heart
Confusion overwhelming the glaring
Until there were no colors left

I thought the sirens would never stop blaring
The salty taste on my lips resides
The sole residue of a lifes caring
Streaming down my face

I thought the sirens would never stop blaring
The metal chills my skin to ice
Draining me of all my daring
Through the bottom of my feet

I thought the sirens would never stop blaring
Smells of rain on asphalt
Cleanse the night while wearing
Eroding any memory trace

I thought the sirens would never stop blaring
Now the silence eats within me
Like the lonely future left glaring
With only me left here

I never knew the fear of quiet
But now i feel the tearing
Disappointment yearns for when
I thought the sirens would never stop blaring
