silence

in the silence

my thoughts consume me

the past pollutes the future

anything could happen

in the silence

I hear your voice again

like its right here now

your words drown me

in the silence

my mind is my enemy

memories of you 

appear and overtake

in the silence

in the silence

in the silence, I suffer alone

in the silence.

when will I quit the silence?

scream for solace?

in the silence

when will I fight it?

when will I stop being my own victim in my own prison?
