Lips Sealed

bound by Silence

Silence,

It binds,

Like the unrelenting chains of immortal time,

Lips sealed,

Sealed with a simple thread and needle,

It's woven through by every thought,

Every doubt,

 

Silence,

I am bound by it,

Itching and scratching

At the needle work that curses my words,

My every thought,

Unrelenting,

Immortal,

A silent demon of mine,

 

Lips sealed,

Dare I speak a word

All will come flooding out,

One tear dare escape,

And my heart will run dry,

Dare I be free of these chains,

Will there be anything of me left?

 

Silence,

My Silence

Holds so many words,

I wish I could show you,

Hold your hand and tell you that everything is going to be okay,

But I can't

For I am bound,

 

Lips sealed,

Sealed by a simple needle and thread,

Woven by a spirit that knows them best,

My own heart,

To protect me,

My own chains

And I hold the key,

But it's buried deep inside of me,

 

Silence,

Such a meaningful time of soundless space,

Only the clanking of the metal links that hold it there,

For my own protection,

Lips sealed

Against myself,

My words,

My thoughts,

 

A silent demon of mine.
