Once again i stand here
wishing to scream before i cry for you
in the belch of a banchie's scream
its your silence alone that deafen's me
Then and then alone i feel my bleeding ears
then and then alone i feel my gaped heart
then and then alone i feel gushing rivers of salt
then and then alone i feel i'm on my own
and for this reason i'm frozen
and for this reason i'm torn
for this very reason i'm forced to say these words as yours which went unsaid
i wished a thousand wishes that this were not so
i begged the stars to have you utter a single vowel, but nothing still
my thoughts roll storms while my heart sinks in them
these are the words of a broken man
a man who dreams of your mind married to mine to live in wholely conversation
a man who whould not only lend an ear but would mortgage it just to pay attention
once again my thoughts grow numb
with nothing left to do
a wondering soul in space amidst galaxies of your silence that haunts me
and silent you are still
though even within your eyes you speak so eloquently
keen attention as your thoughts lay structure to your internal lecture
a monologue!
one so loud that sound itself gets quite and all is heard
while nothing is said, everything is read
read in the silent code of silence
the potion served shaken not stirred
but has stirred and served one reaction
Tears that are never seen
thoughts that have never been
actions that were never screened
and still you stand silent
Within one wish for sound
as sound as the weight of your word
i'll cry loudly!
as no part of me will stay silent in rebellion to your position
i'll scream for your silence to cease
then again...
i'll scream with your silence
serve you your stir
to lure you to my pain
serve you your stir, serve you your stir
i'll serve you your stir
to aid your want for my words
while i starve for yours!
