Silenced


I used to be so loud. My emotions have always spoken volumes, But now, I am silenced. My words were tranquilized, Put to sleep. My emotions are now dormant, Quiet as a mouse. Sometimes i wonder if they are still there. If my heart still beats, Then why can I not hear it? You snatched my entire life out of me. You have stolen my heart, The very reason I can breathe the air I breathe. "Be careful", I told you. "You're holding the strings in your hands, Please be careful" You are the best puppet master I have ever known. You are also the best actor. To have played with not only the strings, But my emotions as well. I can feel the words crawling up my throat, But why do they stop? Why can I not tell you the very words I mean to say? You have showed me who you are, Yet I cannot speak on what you have shown. For I have been silenced. For I have been forgotten.
