Silenced Nothing
Wrapped in velvet
But drenched in blood
I grew my shelter
From a single bud
Beaten skin covers the outer core
Of every shield
I've built against the world.
But I am still alone
In the walls of my own mind
Because I can't wrap myself around
The reasons of time.
I can't make myself believe
That I can step out of my body
I can't force myself
To leave behind memory.
Because I am a silenced nothing.
