Silent cries bellow in the night.
Unhealed scars, forgotten pain.
Bathed in unshed tears,
Anguish drowns my troubled soul.

Smiles that glittered like the stars,
Crushed beneath a broken world.
Laughter that rang like chiming bells,
Drowned in a river of misery.

Mocking expectations pry into my muddled mind,
Filling my world with endless thoughts.
Anxiety crashes onto my body,
Destroying an era of peace.

Eyes slide shut, silence prevails.
A single teardrop plummets onto the terrain.
Loneliness, agony, rage.
Forgotten as tears fall.

The empty darkness engulfs my weary body.
Tight lipped smiles, feigned laughs.
Tension bathes into stiff muscles,
A tired sigh resonates softly.

Silent screams, pain jabs into my mind.
Wavering eyes gleam in the darkness.
Lips painfully etch into a smile,
Hiding the glint gleaming within dark brown orbs.

Light flickers brightly,
Dissolving within a glossy ebony mist.
A glimmer of silver twinkles in the night,
Red paints the tiled floors.

The door creaks softly,
A gust of wind seeps through.
A statued form lingers in the doorway.
Drop by drop, a stream of tears begin to fall.

White bandages bound a pale wrist,
Silent sobs wrack in the night.
Arms embrace a troubled soul.
The silver blade abandoned, lies beside a trembling body.

She walks, delved in the darkness.
Blindly making her way towards the light,
She stumbles and struggles.
The hope draws near.

As she reaches the opening,
Figures linger in the distance.
Realization crosses her expression,
Outrage flickers within a pair of eyes.

An echoing rumble and a tremor in the earth,
A faint call of her name resonates softly.
She throws herself back into the darkness.
The entrance collaspes, the light dissipates.

A lonely soul, a broken heart,
The tears silently fall down porcelain cheeks.
Drowned in despair, reality slips away.
Loneliness lingers within the emptiness.

I glanced at the clock,
The taste of longing nipped at my lonely heart.
The mere wish to turn back time,
Could I be happier without you?

The desire to run away from this torment,
The pain of my unrequited love took a toll on me.
Maybe if we never met, I wouldn't have seen your beautiful smile.
Tears would no longer fall.

If the warmth of your hand on my shoulder disappeared,
Would our eyes have met?
If words of encouragement were never voiced,
Would I still see the side of you I love?

If I never met you,
The hurt I contain would flow away.
The rusted chains that bind me to you would break,
I would be free from the image of you.

Moments drift like the wind,
The memories locked in our hearts.
Endearing laughter, tender smiles,
The reminiscent days we cherish.

The youthful days of contentment,
We ran amongst the sea of people,
Lost in our own world,
Where nothing seems to matter.

Days have passed,
The future is almost within our grasp.
The unknown draws only fear,
Emotions begin to overflow.

The weight of expectations,
Just a burden carried on our shoulders.
The anxiety, the inability to breathe,
Clouds our enamoured souls.

Close your eyes and listen,
As your breathing steadies.
The world is ours to rewrite,
The place where we belong.

The place where I belonged,
It slipped out of my grasp.
My soul was lost in my desire for redemption,
Wanting the torment to diminish.

Repetitive words that break my soul,
Defeat the warrior rising within me.
I couldn't prevent my fall,
As I hit rock bottom.

My hand grasped at the world,
Yet my heart was bound in chains.
The burden I carried weighed heavily on my shoulders,
I hid my image behind a mask.

I sought to erase myself from existence,
My weary bones ached with fatigue.
Yet the day I caught a glimpse of the sun,
I held onto her ray of hope.

A simplistic greeting cannot leave my lips,
As if a card has been pried open,
With no words printed upon the blank space.
Silence passes by.

Our eyes meet for a moment.
Time itself begins to slow to a stop.
The breath I'm holding releases itself,
As these feelings ignite my empty soul.

Pain enters my heart,
Aching it with the unpleasant flashbacks.
The warm hugs and the tender smiles,
Are nothing more than a forgotten memory.

My gaze flickers towards the ground,
The earth begins to move again.
No words need to be spoken,
As we become strangers once more.

Unspoken gratitude, hesitant words,
The words are caught in my throat.
Like the many thoughts that flow into my mind,
Expressing them becomes a challenge.

My eyes instinctively gaze over at you,
Intimidation slowly seeping into my veins.
Yet as the smile forms upon your lips,
It feels as if the stars are twinkling in the sky.

In debt to your presence,
A reason to bear the weight of the world,
Regret does not affect my heart,
For meeting you brought light to my darkness.

If another year flows by,
Like an unending river of time,
I silently hope in that span of time,
You'll linger in my life for a little while longer.

Dream after dream,
The nightmares no longer grace me with your face.
Loneliness calls to my heart,
As you slowly drift away.

The metal bars begin to collaspe,
Freedom beckons me forward.
When you appear before me,
Chains envelop my body in a hug.

Pain sinks into my heart,
The river of tears begin to flow.
As my name leaves your lips,
The desire for escape vanishes.

As if I were a bird in a cage,
I cannot escape the chains that bind me to you.
I am trapped in the image of you,
Where my love is nothing but an unspoken whisper.

A resonating beat echoes within the room,
Creating a warm atmosphere.
Shoes squeak across the floor,
As the hour begins.

Smiles beam across the room,
Laughter fills the humid air.
Your eyes are twinkling,
With mirth and excitement.

The smiles I suppressed,
The laughs I silenced,
As I listened to you,
Hid the happiness hidden in my heart.

The sole being who smiles the brightest,
Like the stars that shine in the sky.
The world is beautiful,
Yet the beauty of life lives within you.

Unfathomable fear cursed my broken soul.
The poisonous love that lingered in the confines of my heart.
The love that once bloomed like a beautiful flower,
Just another curse that bleed into the scars.
  
A faltering reality, a shattered soul.
Torn, broken, regretful.
Laced beneath an emotional facade,
The barriers shattered as love sunk in.

Love lit up the pure darkness,
Lighting an endearing path.
Descending the tunnel of light,
Sorrow drowns beneath the heavy bliss.

In this moment of unconditional affection,
Gratitude and joy spreads into a pure smile.
