If I Could Silence You
Why am I still here..suffering in this broken home
Wasting my time on someone that has no feelings
Inside I'm festering..I feel like I'm dying in this heap
I guess there was never any true love for me here
Your words are painful..with each one spoken I feel sick
Do you know how bad I want to shut you up
Make you silent..so I can have peace in my head
Would that help either one of us if I could mute you
Honestly I would feel better..but you would be tongueless
So for now I'll be silent and just watch you be rotten
But I won't stay here..another twenty years
When I walk away my tongue will still be in my mouth
Wasting my time on someone that has no feelings
Inside I'm festering..I feel like I'm dying in this heap
I guess there was never any true love for me here
Your words are painful..with each one spoken I feel sick
Do you know how bad I want to shut you up
Make you silent..so I can have peace in my head
Would that help either one of us if I could mute you
Honestly I would feel better..but you would be tongueless
So for now I'll be silent and just watch you be rotten
But I won't stay here..another twenty years
When I walk away my tongue will still be in my mouth

This is kind of painful to read. (I understand it's intentionally so.) Don't know if it's based on personal circumstances, but if so, hang in there kid, things will get better. :-) (P.S. "dying"... unless it was spelled "dieing" on purpose.)

Intense write, Tommie. I am still young but I've had my share of painful moments, and I've found that time really does heal. Further down the road, in a better place, we can remember times like these and laugh at them. In the moment though they can be crushing. Powerfully conveyed, I really like the "tongue-less" concept, it adds some brutality. Great writing :]

Tragic read, evokes sympathy, but apparently ends on an ominous note for the source of the woe - implication 'I'll still be able to talk, you won't be.'
(I lived near the scene of a domestic murder which happened after the wife endured abuse and finally snapped, according to statements, when she heard the man had been unfaithful, then buried his body under a patio. The couple's neighbour was a - still living - friend of mine.)
