Nights Of Silence

Those long nights 
of dreaded silence. 
The raw, burning scream 
chafe at my throat 
and heart. 

Screams that come 
out as whispers. 
The anger and resentment 
that has created the bitterness inside myself, 
slowly dissolves 
leaving a trail of hate that will never leave. 

The worst isn't over 

The acke now comes. 
That incredible, overbearing sadness 
that sufficates and chokes. 

I lay silent 
staring at the bare wall. 
I act calm and collected. 
Peaceful. 

But inside my weary body, 
I am drowning, 
screaming for help. 
The feeling of hopelessness washes over, 
for my pleas are ignored. 

My face wrinkles. 
I feel old, tired, and used. 

With a sigh, 
I roll over onto my other side 

and try to shove the pain.
