SILENTLY DEAD

the pain i've been struck with

in this thunderous storm

the passion i've been cursed with

for the love i'll never know

no more pleading eyes you see

frozen are black tears

cold as the ice is the breath i take

no rising of the chest

and silence inside

ashened my face, holds no emotion

a rare smile comes with pain i take and free others

i roam the crowded streets

to find the arms to hold me

for aeons have been sleepless

i search a chest to lay down

when will the eyes that would see through

look askance at this living corpse

when will the chilly breaths freeze

warming me in the fire's of hell

i acquiesce now to what life throws

i sleep now with hope of grave
