Screaming Silently

Hunched over in the dead of the night

I pray for a quick, painless death tonight.

My insides are crawling, I can't really breathe

Honestly, I don't know what's come over me.



My eyes are half lidded, pistol in my hand

Somehow everything is clouded and distant.

I no longer feel love, only coursing, hot hate,

Spreading itself through my body like a demonic plague.



I lift my gaze up toward the mirror slowly,

I take in the sight of a wrenched girl before me.

Everything I thought I was has changed so violently,

and somehow, no one heard me screaming [so silently]
