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
