In Silence

Without a voice

In Silence

In silence it eats away at my soul.

The emptiness and fear.

I struggle to keep control.

My heart longs to have you here.

In silence I feel myself drifting away.

Pulling away from you.

Again, I convince myself again to stay.

Leaving isn't what love should do.

In silence from within the depths, I scream, I cry.

My heart shatters and breaks.

Why can't you at least try???

A million times my eyes beg but nothing in you wakes.

In silence I wail, your ambivalence destroys me.

Still, truth you ignore.

How can a love so strong continue to be...

While at the same time lacking so much... more?

In silence I whisper the truth unspoken, unseen.

In reality, it is you that I need.

Your neutral demeanor is impossible and obscene.

In silence, I know that you should be freed.

In silence you continue to lie.

In silence you continue to hide.

In silence my heart says goodbye.

In silence the reality is this love has already died.
