Silence

Silence

A Poem by Mayé

Break my silence
Cover my fear for my abhorrent nakedness,
that slowly reveals itself and eats me to the bone,
cover it with sounds louder than any truth I so desperately try to wrap in fabrics of lost dreams and hopes that find their excistence in the blindness of the night and die with the first sun rays.
Spare me the torture of loneliness so that I do not have to escape her with thoughts that give birth to doubts who anker in my dark soul. 
I beg you to be the air that fills my longs, caresses my skin and makes me yearn for the era in which I lived.

This is very strong statement of all the pain in this relationship. You have created some very good images. You have done really well for having English as a second language. Personally I think this would read better by dividing your long sentences and starting on new lines to make it like a prose poem - no need to rhyme. That's just a personal opinion. You could just try it and see. Also a few spellings - lungs for longs, existence with no c, is anker meant to be anchor. Also do you mean era at the end.
Hope that helps and I did enjoy.
Kind regards, alan
