Alice Silvers Poems

I am alone
I wonder how this got so out of control
I hear everyone whisper
I see them point
...

I am drowning
I wonder when it will end
I hear silence
I see black
...

I am dissapearing
I wonder how this came to be
I hear their voices, begging me to come back
I see blurred facesof people I once knew
...

You were my soldier, standing tall and proud. Always ready to do anything. You would march ahead of me. Protecting me from any harm. People would gawk in awe at you, you were so gorgeous. I was so proud to claim you as my own, my one and only.
...

Sometimes when I think of you all I want to do is let go, let my emotions flow. But then I think of what has been engraved in my mind, you can't cry, no matter what your reason. So, I take a deep breath, wipe my eyes and move on. Because, you're not allowed to cry.
...

Locked in a cell
With my imaginary friends
In a dungeon
Where the night never ends
...
