Speak [POEM]

Silence can sometimes be too deafening…

╭⋟────────────────╮

                ✦✧✦✧

                     ... just something I came up with

                     while looking through some of my

                     older drafts.

                     Maybe rather than thinking up new

                     ones, I think I better make use of

                     the forgotten ones— like spring

                     cleaning!

                     Fun Fact: This was supposed to be

                     a submission for the 2019 Spirit

                     Wars!

── =^._.^= ∫ ──

There is a distance between us

That is invisible and silent,

It only grows as years by,

Yet remains unnamed with the silence,

It tastes of bitterness and all,

Frigid, too, like emptiness of space,

And is as fragile as a glass,

Cracked and ruined in near disrepair,

It hurts much like a thousand cuts

Etched all over my skin and my soul,

A wound that refuses to heal

Even when the clocks dissolved to sand,

It is the blindness no-one knows,

The darkest of shadows cast by none,

Always there with its mockery

Of presence that cannot be proven,

It is the whispers of evil

That could not be chained by the old stars,

Poisoning my ears with its voice

I had once thought as my only friend,

It brings miasma to the air,

Choking me until I'm out of breath,

Enjoying my every struggle

As I breathe in the poisoned zephyr,

There is a distance between us

That is invisible and silent,

And it will grow as time goes on

If I dare not to speak my heart out.
