Tortured silence
So aimee i got a thing on here - toke and trip very appropriate for that stuff, northern light purple haze......
any who i told you that i write poetry a little bit, like you said everyone does!
Tortured silence
Tortured silence,
Tears that are never aloud to fall
And words kept so tight and close to your heart
Just in case….
Just in case that they slide down your throat and fly out of your solidly closed mouth
Straight into the ears of those you assure your fine.
Just in case they discover that you’re bleeding inside
From unbearable feelings of agonising pain and resentment.
Just in case the false smile you wear slips from your face
And you catch a glimpse of the desolation which is slowly taking over
Drowning me and trickling like fire down my spine and lighting the very earth on which I stand
I avoid emotion,
Hiding from it so that I don’t have to admit how hard it will be to say goodbye
I’m used to your face
Your voice, your figure
An image constantly up close
So how do I live without you?
Words cut so deep
That to utter them would cause a breakdown of the senses
And a demolition of my heart
Words that clutch at my throat
Reaching far within to grasp at my existence
You’ll never know how hard it was to see you go
You’ll never understand the torment that racked my already ruined core
You’ll never hear the words that I knew so well
But couldn’t for fear of agony, speak
You will never know
Tortured silence
