My Silence! ! Poem by Alfred kaliisa

My silence grows stronger

As I drown in these memories That I run from

Bottled up I have kept them

And watered them with nights

Of drinking!

Speak my peace I know not how

But speak I must

For resentment and anger only

Hurt one who harbors them

 

Too long has my silence been

That I remember not how to speak,

My lips feel numb and my tongue twists

With in my mouth

My throat is clogged as

Tears well up in me eyes

For heavy be the words

That I must speak

 

Like  a flood they pour

Out of me mouth but sense they

Do  not make for blubber is all they be,

Rumblings  of a dark soul

Burnt  by ambers of unrequited love

And chained by moments of

defeat

 

Now a gun I shall avail me self

To  end all the pain

Of me silence and bottle up the things

That I wont admit to my self

And hope peace I shall

find in death! ! !
