Silent Screams

I see you, I see you, I see you
I saw you stutter
I saw you struggle
I saw you suffer

I feel you, I feel you, I feel you
I felt the darkness 
I felt the hopelessness
I felt the sadness

I hear you, I hear you, I hear you
I heard the silence
I heard the sobs and cries
I heard the screams

I'm sorry for not noticing it before
All the silent screams lodged in your throat.
