His name is silence
He is broken and he is shut
Two sides born to tear the sinew away
To expose the pain
This fool battered again
Heart is nothing
No safe place to hide
Even in dreams he says there is no love
It’s a brittle home
Thorns jab to draw this blood and redden roses
But it is nothing
Nothing but sealed lips and stripped minds
His name is silence
And he will keep his secrets
Keep his anger, his pride and his vengeance
No one to blame but this soul
A spirit that did not heed the warnings
Entangled forever, to no end
But it’s nothing to him
Nothing but quiet
As silent as the starless void
Earnest and empty words have no form
Locked doors
Barred windows
Cutting chains
Like daggers and needles and pain
Oh, why did I call his name
