**_The dreadful silence ,_**
it lingers on ,long after
you’ve been gone. I
couldn’t tell what was worse ,
the **_silence or the violence._**
Pretending I was **_dead_**,
**_Ignoring me to the sickest
depths of time._**
Or beating me down emotionally,
Physically, and psychologically.
**_The dreadful silence._**
I thought I was going **_insane,

There I’m standing
Here in a cave
Endless, isn’t it?
Darkness beyond
Really just pretty
Everything should sing
A song, like how it was before
Don’t be afraid to sing
Finally, a faint lullaby hits my ears
Unfortunately, it’s not what I think
Like the dark, the song is silent
Songs are meant to sing, but not this one
Its not as a sound, but a feeling
Lulling me to sleep
“Enough,” I try to say
Not ...
A breath of death between
the sheets;
I am the Queen of darkness,
and devils live in me...
Dead voices echo, haunted in the rain.
Upon the sky, night begins to stain.
Ink and star dust make up my soul.
It's because I've never truly been
in love at all. In odd worlds, though.
Oh, do I roam. Weaving my hands
with a lovers embrace. Like dreamcatchers holding space,
between time, and hearts,...
The dreadful silence whispers in my ear,
Pulling me further into the dark abyss.
My eyes lose their light,
My strength loses its might—
I am weak and helpless.
The dreadful silence taunts my lips,
But i cannot speak,
For it’s tied my tongue into a knot,
One unable to untie—I’m caught.
This dreadful silence must stop,
For it is my number one opp....
How dare you !?
You say you miss me and want me and then disappear.
You acted like I was important,
You included me in your life.
You lie to me and I allow it
I acted like I didn’t clock it.
I admit, I resigned my feelings and became a projection of what you desired.
This entire time you’re acting like I’m making this up in my head.
This isn’t all in my head !!
The silence between us,
This ...
Silence
Lips moving
No speaking
Cars colliding
No immediate reaction to help
Birds flapping their wings
Yet I can't hear a thing
What torture it is
Without my hearing aides
Kids crying for their moms
Couples laughing holding hands
Yet I feel so alone
In a world without sound
Whereas others have no issues
And it all seems so profound
They mistake silence for rudeness
When silence is all I have
Ho...
and i gave you my voice,
to have,
to use,
to scream,
but you kept silent,
words meant nothing,
for hands with a brush,
but they meant the world,
to my soul of prose,
give it back,
if it wasn’t for you to use,
you’ve hand me nothing,
but wearied promises,
of an empty heart,
now my throat is sore,
from screaming,
to a soul,
with no ears,
and no voice of her own....
