Silence

Nothing seems to matter anymore
I wear this face to hide how I really feel
My tears of pain stain a shade on my pillow
Soaking through…

And my mouth is locked
I can’t cry, I can’t speak, I can’t breathe
where is the key?
And if I find it and turn it
Will it even help
Or will I unlock what should not be moved?

The hearts secrets one that needs to be told
But fear asks to remain
What if it changes everything
And I’m back alone again?

Why does fear entomb me?
Why can’t it set me free?
Or is it that I’m missing something
That I cannot see?

Inside I am screaming
But my voice will never be
A secret made to keep
Don’t see you’ve damaged me
Picking splinters from my heart
Forever more, eternally
Their wounds will never heal,
Keep bleeding…
