amid the silence

Sometimes no matter how loud we scream, our voice remains silent. ?
Ā
Sitting on her bed
lighter in her hand
pain rushing through her head
she can barely stand
she took parts of her and threw it down the blackest of holes
cutting herself deepĀ
with the shattered piecesĀ
of her unguarded heart
the whispering of tauntersĀ
haunt her scars
a painful toll
life seemed deadened in prayer from the start
where everyone assumes but nobody knowsĀ
what is wrong???
hiding in the corners to avoid it all
is what she decides
escaping it all
this girl
so beautiful
in ways the world will never hearĀ
her song
the evil faded her light
lifeless eyes she now hides
the agony of fire beholdsĀ
an icy tear
thoughts of hell bring her to her knees
sorrow cannot erase
vicious rumors in captive lies
this girlĀ
believes everything she hears
the wounds cut so deepĀ
heaven cannot efface
painĀ
a cruel vengeanceĀ
and not to be played with
if this girl could heal from any cut that bled her to shreds
a blessed momentĀ
would prove her life a myth
upon this night
hope has brought one more chance a desperate thread
her hopes of breaking again
weigh heavilyĀ
andĀ
should not be overlooked
give voice to her silenceĀ
instead of hate
summon for rains of reliefĀ
to wash the sadness down
depressionĀ
is her forever homeĀ
and the memoriesĀ
have her hooked
trapped in chainsĀ
for far too longĀ
and nothing to gainĀ
the seas of sorrowĀ
to watch her drown
she prays for death
but her heart pleasĀ
even to the saddest song
alive and pounding in her head
is loveĀ
to come and take awayĀ
the mourning in her breath...
One cut and another....
She is numb.Ā
Ā
I am your voice and I always will be.
