A little silence is a greater need,
Salt my wounds and watch them bleed.
Tears of anguish for my tries,
Empty my heart of compromise.
Chase away the hurt within,
Understand where I have been.
Hold me close and dry my eyes,
For my faults you can’t recognize.
Your understanding I can’t define,
Why do you hold this hand of mine?
Take me in your suffocating grip,
Yet hold me loose and watch me slip.
I can’t run, I can’t break free,
I’m held in the depths of misery.
I’m floating further and further away,
Only wishing for the light of day.
Realization settles slow,
It enhances the pain and masks the glow,
I hear the echoing of its calls,
And drift beneath where the darkness falls.
Where the Darkness Falls
