Silent Scream

Silence surrounds me,

becoming my sanctuary and my prison.

Is it you that put me here or was it me?

Pain is without words and my sadness is without tears.

There are moments of agony bottled inside.

Constantly remembering,

even when I try not to, my mind staggers to destroy me.

I can no longer control my thoughts.

Slightly delusional, and lost in my reality

my sanctuary has become an asylum.

The only way to stop hating you,

is to stop loving you.

Why can't I see I am the prisoner of my own demise?

Why can't I accept you left?

But to free myself is to accept that.

I won't.

Emotions fading, turning cold;

there is no trace of your love.

All I can do is scream silently in my mind

and ponder why you don't love me.
