#silenthours
I am tired of feeling lost
Being left behind;
I am sick of mourning
While presenting my silence...
I wait for my iron blood
To thicken and freeze;
My veins, my heart
Too stiff to feel again--
I wait for cold numbness
To dull my aching eyes;
To release my soul
From merciless compassion.
I wait to draw a breath
In freedom, in selfishness;
Untainted by their expectations
If only one, if only once...
Till my madness consumes me.
