Silence Poem by Adler Schroeder

Silence, in the night

Darkness does not try to hide

The walls around me are crumbling

As I hurt deep inside


Silence, in my body

I cannot think straight anymore

My heart and mind are closed

I have become nothing but a core


I am but a shell

Of the self that I once was

My spirit is dead and my heart is gone

Of this misery, I am the cause


Slowly I am losing my sanity

Slowly my life is ebbing away

For now I am dead and so is my soul -

To think that I had been wishing for this very day


I used to wish for death

I used to lust for blood

But now that I have received death

I feel as if I had drawn a tarot card


It was not meant to happen this way

It was not meant to be

And now the one that I love -

She no longer cares for me


I know she does not love me

But I am grateful for what she has done

The short time we used to be together

Has been a spark in this darkness as bright as the sun


I am grateful for the friends

That had comforted me in my time of need

If not for them, where would I be?

If not for them, what would have become of me?


Now although I am dead

The memories remain

But soon they will fade

And all that is left will be the remnants of my shame.
