my shadows swallow me
in the night when I'm alone,
with the moon hiding away
like a candle blown out,
and its darkness tears at me,
and I can't find my ink
in this suffocating silence
and the pitch dark dark dark
whispering against my mind,
"let me in let me in let me in"
and my hand shakes for the pen
to let this flow out
in a tsunami of words and colors
of prose and shadows,
but I can't bring myself
to immortalize my fears
on the page,
so I can only give my tears
to sink into the beige
in place of my ink,
and the shadows stir my secrets,
giving me nightmares
and tauntings
in exchange for my words
I'm wordless
