The silence all around me;
Pounding in my head,
The empty void of nothing;
Filling me with dread.
...
The silent tests,
The noisy breaks,
The laughing fun,
That school day makes.
...
When it all goes wrong,
And the day is far too long,
And you're heart's a lump of stone,
Inside a hollow chest.
...
There used to be a way,
For me to keep up hope;
There used to be a day,
When I could almost cope.
...
Of inky fingers,
Leaking pens,
Red-faced glee,
Guarded dens.
...
He had hoped she would,
Bring him to the light;
But she never could,
Find him in the night.
...
Across the sky it’s coming;
Darkness closing in,
Fight it if you wish,
You know you’ll never win.
...
There’s something in the dark;
Waiting in the night,
Something you can’t see,
Is something you can’t fight.
...
A second aought in time,
Within the wind, a breath.
Lives we turn away from;
Forget the pain and death.
...
The slientness and emptiness;
Ripping through my soul,
The happiness and joyfulness,
All that keeps me whole.
...
