Silent Screams

The abysmal loneliness,
That Nightmare's shroud envelopes me.
My soul drifts in the void,
Where only the silence can hear it scream.

My ribcage a prison,
Thorns on the inside,
And a heart of flesh and blood,
Each beat stabbing it again and again.
Would that my blood pool in my body,
And my heart stop beating,
Indeed it would be a mercy.

In isolation I drift,
The scream of silence grating on my sanity.
Like a parasite the demons feast on my emotion.
I wish a single light from the sky,
Let me befall better madness than this!
May one day a star come,
Boil the seas and crack the earth.

It is as though my soul be bound,
Its core open to the darkness,
Its tendrils wrapping around it,
Trapping it to never find itself,
And never be found.

Would that my resolve was no coward,
I'd not be a knave to this.
I fall to my knees,
Only to fall flatter.

Surrender has never been an option,
But it isn't surrender if your enemy was your other half,
Betraying at the last seconds of sanity.

What is it to get back up?
Is it only to fall again?
I was never a great beast,
So why is my perpetual fall,
That of a galaxy?

In a struggle to escape Nightmare's shadow.
Only the silence ,
Can hear me scream.
