Silence

Silence-

Hidden truths,

Unspoken words,

Absent thoughts...

Fill the cracks of my walls,

Enveloping me in a blanket of isolation,

My hands, grasping for a lifeline in desperation.

The silence

Threatens to pull me under the ocean floor,

Drowning me out, suffocating me,

'Till what remains is a brewing storm.

Its stillness

Courses through my veins,

Numbing the pain I once felt,

In its place a hollowed out heart,

Devoid of the hint of a spark.

The growing emptiness,

Overwhelms my mind,

Tethering me to a chain,

Leaving a part of myself behind.
