Speak

If i spoke,
the words would
only kill me

If you only knew
           how the white drapes were killing my days,
like a marriage in youth
gone to shambles,
but it's all the same

The alabastar satin,
the veil of my fable tenderness

To embrace
      my reality
          would only
                  enlighten
            my ghostly
          flesh
The pallor
the ivory!
O' how it shields me,
                 the Goddess' elephants
          have gone mad.
living with their                      broken tusks.
I survuve a                           little while longer
counting the                          minutes I breathe in
You tell me                           I should have said
something, you                       understand. If you did,
that question                        would have never been
asked.

i never existed to you before,
you can't create a new me,
without words is who I'll always be.

But i have nothing to say
so to speak.
