The Silence

 The echo of a hollow breath, resilient to my call.

Ears hyper fixated on every sound that falls.

Your heart feels as though if it held a glass, it would be filled

with the outpouring of tears that seemed to be visions of your past.

Your cries are muffled by the fake smile and imprisoned by the 

memories that hold you all the while. 

Every thought amplified by the constant conversations

being held by the demons who rule over your twisted hallucinations.

Its deafening you know...

The silence.

We go without speaking, without feeling.

Our hearts beat by without recognizing its own sound.

The flame dwindles to barely a whisper, burning to the ground.

My soul wanders around like a weary old drifter.

The only one I want, is the only one I can't keep. 

I push you away and the ice builds in my chest.

As easily as I am to love

Ill put your heart to the test.

It won't come easy, and you'll want to walk away.

Stick by me and you'll see that Silence is the only way.
