"What No One Can Hear"

I lie here in painful silence

Pouring neglect from my eyes

This plead for stability is louder

The only sound in the silence in which I hide

I stand observing in this doorway

As the world moves around my body

And once again the cloak of deceit

Is lowered and hangs before me

I sit here surrounded by horror and agony

Enclosing and suffocating what's left of me

So much has been stolen

My soul, spirit, care; I cannot go on
