SPEAK

Trembling with silent fear

of the words

running rampant in my mind

never to be released from this cage



This painfully hidden longing

Lies buried within my eyes

like the dead ashes of men

These moments spent

Harvesting an enduring sorrow

Which begs for a new breath of life



All these things I want

Need

Yearn

To speak to you

A bludgeoning dread veiling these thoughts

Like the blackest of night

As lingering memories choke the life out of me

and

I'm not sleeping so well

Anymore



Taunting innuendo disturbing my mind

A cruel intrusion of my psyche

As I continually lose this battle

Of good versus evil

Honesty versus deceit

and

Me versus you

Shallow games played with fragile hearts

And forbidden lust

Unexplored



Silent

Always so silent

As I sit alone in the darkness

Aching to speak

To you
