Silence

Please forgive the silence The one that keeps me self-contained I fear without such a thing I couldn’t keep sane Bliss is my enemy For I left it behind years ago Stepped forward thousands of times To let this overworked mind grow I left behind comfort Family also lost a long the way I asked for nothing in return Just when on going, never thought to stay Love was killed In shallow graves buried It can only cause me pain And heaved the load I have carried So let my silence shield the world From my bleeding mind Let it wrap around me So I can past the time Let it bring me my peace And protect people like you Let it break the connections And keep my heart and soul from view
