Voices of Silence

I try to ignore you, and yet, I can’t forget your piercing voice. It penetrates my skull swiftly. A quickly paralyzing noise. I seek to tell myself to try, To fly away from looking down, Upon myself. Making things worse; A curse that keeps sticking around. I try to make my feelings known, Alone I scream into the void. And while your voice cuts me unloved, What’s above, so below devoid: The silence is heavy and thick, Pricking me as I sit there dead. Almost unbearable it is; Invisible ‘til something’s said. I try to leave the memories, Of sceneries so long ago. This summer was a haze, brain numb, Succumbed to letting feelings go. I try to ignore you but alas, I can’t surpass or escape you. Trapped here I am so, so alone; A mere stone’s throw away from you, And yet I say nothing, nothing, Discussing nothing ever again. And that’s the way it shall be now. I hope thou art free of my pain. I don’t miss you, only feeling, Appealing to someone who cares. So why does your voice still hurt me? Mercy, God, please hear my prayers.
