Poem -
The silence in the dark
Wading through darkness
Trapped and smothered
Clawing and screaming
Everything covered
The light is a memory
A fleeting dream
Cold and alone
Suffering unseen
Life is for living
A beautiful lie
Trapped in the darkness
Waiting to die
I shout and I scream
One final time
Drowned out in silence
In this darkness of mine

wonderfully written and very suited for
song due to its lyricism.
five stars bro.
Thanks Icarus, I never thought of any of my poems lyrically, although I have a habit of free writing and not reading what iv wrote for days, weeks or even months later lol. I might have to have a crack at a song though, thanks for the idea and taking the time to read it. I hope you have a good day bud 😁
