Beginning to inhale, then exhale I read my body in braille No sound was made Silence prevailed
Not a breath was taken, not a word spoken Eye contact was never broken As I looked in the mirror, I saw my soul And I saw it with eyes wide open
I looked at my reflection across It tried to weave through my mind like floss And I could tell from the look of her face She spoke the language of the lost
The ocean was caged in my eyes I felt I were a beast in disguise And I saw that the mirror Was my beacon in the veil of the night
Like the bristles of a brush, her lashes drew me in And by the persuasion of her eyes, I was convinced That it hurt to know it takes a life To learn how to live
I traveled the twisted pathways of her mind Each inch was unrefined Though I wanted to untangle I was hopelessly intertwined
I saw skyscrapers turn to rain And people drowning in their pain Because no matter how fast we swim We'll lose the human race
It seemed that feeling out of place Is simply fear of what's changed And some things have no reason And some that can't be explained
Through her eyes, I realized I've committed solitary suicide No longer alone, I found that My ground could be somebody's sky
Closing my eyes, I covered the mirror with a veil I have freed myself, no longer jailed No sound was made Silence prevailed
ok i kinda took "silence prevailed" from my other poem (The Rock) but whatever
