Silence

The coldness of the air makes my body ache
Deep inside my bones moan to be safe
From within I cry to be at rest
but no tears will fall for its all a test.
The war doesn’t end when I close my eyes to sleep
It’s a constant battle that’s always on repeat
My hollow icy eyes once blue and bright
Are tired of kicking and putting up a fight
Secret tears roll down my cheeks
Filled with pain, regret, fear, and grief
Tired of pretend and make belief
I smile transparently and play hide and seek
An actress when the curtain pulled up
Painted smiles and laughter instead of tears I pin up
Wanting to sink to the bottom of the deep
With a stone leading the way wrapped around my feet.
A silent grave sound so sweet
Away from the chaos and trials I’d meet
The fog’s rolling in and I am on the dock
Ready to sink to the bottom like a rock
My hair is done and make– up put up
Glamorous and regal they said I looked
Taking the last step in surrender
To the dark December waters  
To forget the remembers
One last breath and then I went
Feeling the piercing waters and struggle of air I was sent
You couldn’t hear the screams or see the tears I cried
Echoing within the deep dark waters I’d hide
Screams faded with every ripple that was made
Tears blended into the unforgiving waters that fade
The silence shattered my body above all
More than the bitter coldness of the water that consumed my fall
It’s still. . . . It’s quiet. . .
The ripples are no more
I screamed and cried
but no one can hear the unspoken
The painful silence was what was left to be broken
