the silence

It screams in my ears
The words we don't say
They add up more each day.

You would think I would be better
At speaking up
It is still so very rough
To speak from a place
That has healed from so much
Can't take more hurt.

The silence roars
Through the closed door
The nights I can't sleep
Outside I'm okay
Inside I weep
For everything I can't fix
Even though I tried
I have been able to fix me
But I can't fix us.

All I wanted was the silence to go away
Looks like it never went anywhere
It's here to stay.
