Silent Scream

Bite your tongue
Taste the blood
Speak no words
waste the mud

Deception
Hide your face
Under leather
Wrapped in lace

Bells that ring
Phones that chime
Hear the music
Keep the time

Erase me
So I’ll leave
Love me
And I’ll believe

Lights too bright
Can’t see the stars
Skin’s too thick
To hold the scars

History fades
But leaves a mark
Shadows glow
Inside the dark

Whisper soft
So all can hear
Why only face
The things you fear

Listen close
The silent scream
I’d rather be
Than only seem
