My Silence is Born With Me

My silence is born
with me - within me
consoles me
all the time
And I used to love
This silence

but now, a thunderous silence
some unforeseen one
comes from nowhere
and tries to break through my thoughts
and fills my mind and spirit

this silence speaks with me
in a language
that my heart interprets
but my mind
fails to relate

This silence torments me
day and night
with eyes that speak
I try to move away from it
But it fills my mind
With strange feelings
And with reflections of darkness
It attracts me to it.
with these disturbing thoughts,
I try to steal myself away -
inside myself, I try to take cover
And I cry silent tears
Unable to break away!
