My Silent Scream

I will grow our flower in my blistering heart

And dwell within its winter aghast

I will step into the threshold of tomorrow

And forget that yesterday has passed

Your sympathy wrought, all sins are cleansed

Yet the silence remaining reveals the truth

I am swept by the swirl of emotion in the wind

That tapers away the face of you

I am lost in this maze of memory

A wellspring of sorrow unmasked

From my dreams I awaken

Only to watch the hours creep past

As if on a journey to paradise

When once I fall asleep

Just to no longer walk the fields

Of ever swelling grief

The golden nobility in your silence screams

In my reflection, thicker grows the mystery

An ocean abound, my restless eyes weep

The waves crash upon this lonely precipice

For I have erected a fortress atop its misty surface

Guarded by the arms of labyrinths stretched around

It is here in solitude I dwell at the peak

As the lightning cracks through the clouds

My cage is burning, in the shadow of our love's lacerated heart

My wrists are opening, from your sentient sharpened smile

Thou art the cacophony of December's elegy: the death of my sanity

After the night has passed, will you still love me?

The garden blooms in plainest grey,

An emptiness I endure, I've lost my face

And like the night sky as it grew

Like a raven, from my arms, you flew.

I walk the twisting paths of silence

Into chaotic peace

A place where I can flee

A place where I am free to be me
