Silence
No brilliance
not a sound
not even my heart pounds
I  hear only what I've done
The past
Regrets
They echo in my ear mockingly

As the darkness encompasses me
I'm alone
I feel a truth run down my bone
and I know
my time has come
this fight is done
and I lay down in defeat
my most precious commodity

And Wait

Unaware of a lover turned thief
in my chest it once remained
now given away
my fingers numb, cold in pain
I wait for him to do the same

I wait

My heart no longer mine
I am but a shell of myself
empty
and with time
bitterness sweeps
I feel naked

Yet Still I wait

As I realize he will not do the same
my sacrifice in vein
selfishness to greed
he denies me what I need
still a flicker of hope
for a better fate

I wait

In silence
not a sound
not even my heart pounds
I hear only what I've done
the past
my most recent mistakes
punishes me
with this hopeless
Wait
