This screen around me grays my day,
only her smile could pierce it.
This act for me has gone away,
only this thick screen will not quit.
Her absence made me realize
the glass before me, all this time.
In vain have been my constant tries
'escape entrapment from this crime.
I only ask for swift release,
but I know I can continue
through the cold, numbness and the bees,
and break this screen none can come through.
The colors given are dulled down,
it's hard to give thanks for their light.
But they don't see how much I drown,
I'm empty as I pray each night.
God above and devil below
tug at me with their influence.
There's only one thing that I know:
I won't live my life in silence.
