Silence

• • I tasted your sweetness
    I swam inside your eyes
    your golden whispers pyrite
    your truth the sweetest lies.
    tightly held reminders
    still beneath my skin
    perfectly broken promise
    from when we first begin
    Sacrificed to nothing
    you took my everything
    no longer can I soar the heights
    life has clipped my wings.
    My one more time was stunted
    this seed could never grow
    everything it could have been
    is buried in your snow.
    asleep, apart from hopeless
    waiting for your rain
    nursed beyond all reason
    sheltered from the pain.
    Believe again I whisper
    yet I'm left without a choice
    I am not its master
    it does not heed my voice.
