the sound of silence
April 1, 2014
Keeping busy never quieted a Weeping soul
it only muffled it's cries under murky water
Befriending your sorrow has never been more
distasteful
horrific
or cowardly
So let the sunrise over you shadow
let it pass 1000 years
Wait for demise on your knees
I'll live for my life on my feet
permanent peace has never been a blanket
as permanent happiness has always been a rifle
Shy away from the battle if you must
but when the coffin receives your sleeping corpse
it will be more familiar than the face in the mirror
Let Hades welcome you with open arms
for by that time he'll be the only one to know your name
