Silence
March 15, 2013
It's when the rain seeps down from the skies,
And all the birds have gone to sleep,
And the darkness is my only friend,
That I feel like this
It's the feeling I get when the tears won't cease,
And the knife calls out to me
But I remain,
My whole-hearted and kind self,
Even with my mask on,
To which no human can look through
There are days my tears drip through
But even then I shield myself with another
Mask
Though I never reach out,
I know there is someone,
Somewhere,
Who will look through my silence,
And kiss my tears away
