The Depth of Silence

A silent depth drags me away Underneath where nothing remains This cold abyss closes my eyes The silence gained is a loss deified Patience wept and I awoke I can not care, but yet I still hope Unconscious eyes watch my descent I whisper love so truth can ascend Crucified in ambient dreams My whispers reach, replacing the screams The lonely dark echoes my words If I don’t care, then why are they heard? Deepening this painful abyss The hatred comes, as does the eclipse My eyes are closed and I descend But I awake with knowledge to send The silence dies as I hear my words The ocean sings and takes all my hurt This cold abyss is warmer than life The silence fought is a heart deified
