Silence&The Intake of Shattered Glass
You sit in silence.
Not saying a word.
But the voice of your actions can be heard.
Your lips spread pestilence.
I watch you from across the room.
What do I do?
What do I say?
The poison has spread worse than any virus.
Am i delirious?
How can I be taken serious as the poison infiltrates my veins.
It's 4 am and i'm still awake.
I can't rest.
I can't sleep.
Can't you see that like a drug you destroy me from the inside out.
Silence echoes across this entire place as i intake this shattered glass and fail to grasp
anything but hopelessness.
You never had to say a word, your lips so infectious.
I intake this shattered glass, burned memories from past photographs, and I'm still awake
as we let time continue to pass.
How could i expect you to save me when you can't even take care of yourself?
You're on your knees drinking in your regrets.
Silence echoes as we lock eyes for one last serenade from a distance.
