Hush the silence my dear
its cruelty screams loud
your loneliness couldn't
compare to mine

Don't you worry, my dear
The pain won't last long
I won't let you suffer
this night

Memories twirl
throughout my mind
hated reflections of loss that I faced
and the warmth I once felt
In my heart and my soul
I fear it is lost to me now

Oh, the darkness consumes me
as I watch the leaf die
and the hell I've been living
ends abruptly tonight

The shadows are swirling
under the moon's watchful eye
so as the whistling winds
tell me secrets so low
I whisper my quiet goodbye…

Just as the heartbeat of war
tore my love from my arms
so the silence that follows
drives me closer to her

tears fell from their eyes
knowing both of us gone
How could they not notice
my obmutescence of late?

Did they even ever care?

Oh, the darkness consumes me
as I watch the leaf die
and the hell I've been living
ends abruptly tonight

The cold shadows are swirling
under the moon's watchful eye
so as the whistling winds
tell me secrets so low
I whisper my quiet goodbye…
Lyrics for a song a character sings in a story I'm writing, (depressed male, has mild DID)
Criticism welcome/wanted, I've never written lyrics before.
