Silence.

Here brings silence,
the hollow response to my tears dry,
Here comes violence,
the sole resounding cry,

Everything's a mistake,
the only thing left is me against the world,
Everything else is fake,
the only thing left is that last ray of hope,

I am holding onto it so gently,
it does not realize that its all I will ever have,
I am holding onto it so tenderly,
it will never realize that inside there is a hollow cave,

Just a broken pot of bitterness,
silently praying and waiting for salvation,
Just a silent heart of sadness,
silently crying and wailing in devastation,

I will hide in the shadows,
the only dignified shelter left to ease the pain,
I will crouch in the silence,
the only dignified solace left to ease the pain.
