Ebony Silence
in the shadows of the depth
of woe's existence,
i was awakened by thoughts of disregard-
never ceasing to reason without intellect
I seek darkness,
the gloom that greys the ivory glazed moon
in r e d e m p t i o n
i fear not the obscurity-
but lather myself in dim swarthiness
of loss and regret;
drowning in a bath of coal never born
to be a precious diamond
wreckage is the epitome of what
my youth saw-
I wore burn holes to cover up the wounds;
scars fade in time
but
pain doesn't
for I am but a resounding aria of
temperamental mania,
encompassed by a turbulent existence
of lapses in judgement
concealed for the last time i realize
i am a perpetual woman of intense solitude
ebony silence has seized my soul and i
am forever bound to a life devoid of
hues that bring elation
o, how I crave alleviation
crying out to angels who said they would
save my soul
