Silent Cries

"I shed a tear to the night

Burning my oil light.

Turning the volume high

Drowns out my voice.

Inhale. Exhale.

Yet, these toxic words

Still, ring above all sounds.

Head bowed; eyes closed;

Hands in prayers.

Silence answers."

Silent Cries is dedicated to me for the night I cried without any sound. Shaky breaths kept my heart beating despite how painful each breath was. Dark thoughts ravished my mind as I struggled to hang onto any sliver of light I could find within my soul. The burden was too much. Yet, the burden was all I had to keep me grounded in that moment. The pain. Give it to me. Let me suffer. My heart is already shattered.
