Silent Torture

Silence breaches beyond
Abroad where tears dissolve

Home in soft splashing showers
This stillness plagues

Within visions lines
A skulking entity

Ageless and constant
Living and dead

Unwinding gallantly
Coursing within and beyond

From everywhere and nowhere
Many thoughts of fear

In painful illuminae
Unceasingly foreboding

An unending wait
Yet still it lingers

A cruel torturer
Flawlessly determined
