My Silence -

Pour on the mortar
Too seal me away
I don’t need petty words
If you can’t help me
Leave me to my wounds

Hurting and blistering in the heat
Too many
Just too many eyes fixated on me
Gazes like pin pricks
Bleeding me in the slowest way

To the east
The sun rises
And to the south
The dog awakes
To carry the sun away

I am wearing nothing
Shivering in the ice of my nature
Not understood
Just ignored
Implored then forgotten
Because I don’t have a dime to spare

I know it’s time to sleep
Hoping it will be okay tomorrow
Close my eyes
Close myself
Pretend I’m somewhere
Someone else

What is my purpose?
What is this before me?
I find solace in the moon
And I find myself in the storm

Listen to the thunder
Aching in the rain
Because it can’t wash away my pain
Anymore than I can forget it

The blizzard follows me in
And the wind absolves me
Whispering in the narrow flow
Of the spirit through the canyons of the heart

Can’t you see I’m trying?
Can’t you forgive anything…
Can’t you see me for who I am
Just trying to get through today

So scream if you want to
I don’t really care what you do
I’m going to perish in the wastes of my nature
In the silence
My veil
My hope
My danger
