Lost Silent Cries

You carried me in your arms

a coat of armour over my heart.

Like the way an angel drapes its wings,

your frail, withered touch, a constant reminding,

a cocoon of darkness lighting a fire in my mind

you hold my hand and never leave my side.

Your unconscious presence, is always there

never in my dreams but in my nightmares,

you hold me down and string my mouth shut

a needle to mouth for you is never enough.

A betrayal of senses, a closure of mind,

no one to hear my lost silent cries.
