Listen

Do you hear it?
The sound of my heart breaking
The thoughts circling my soul
The screams that tear my flesh but never come out

Do you hear it?
The echoes of yesterday
The whisper of a tomorrow that will never come
The audible desire of today ending

Do you hear it?
My frail voice a soft lie
My rehearsed speeches to fake the day away
My silence

Of course you don't
No one ever will
But that's okay
I'm comfortable in the shadows of my heart
