dont make a sound, darling…


mouth shut,

silence shuns

even the smallest of me.

 

Leave me be!

let me..

Silence.

 

shuddering, shaking,

for god’s sake let me..

Silence.

 

running running

away,

falling falling

away,

Silence.

 

empty hope in a bag,

sling it around your shoulder,

walk away. 

 

justify not yourself,

only your problem.

 

distance, 

keep them years apart,

run away-  keep running.

 

stop

your mind.

i need!

Silence.

 

no more words,

no more letters or sentences,

no more.



 

Silence.

keep it up,

lock it up,

cry away your yesterday.

Silence.

 

zip it

pad lock it

safe it 

sew it shut!

 

no more words,

no more letters or sentences,

no more.

 

hide in your room,

under your bed,

shut your eyes,

sweet dreams-

goodnight
