Hush
I didn't have the words to
say it, or the proper way to convey
it I felt is wash up over me.
My words fell from my mouth, shattered
and strewn about, disintegrating at
my feet.
Weighs heavy, stops time.
Rendered useless, written off.
Self defeating
Being cut down in your prime.
I felt a hush wash over me.
I fear a hush wash over me.
I fear a hate wash over me.
I fear a hate controlling me.
You stand there a crooked shell,
not the one I knew so well. Not
the one I once protected.
Shame holds a visible weight, in
your eyes and on your face, Hanging
silent above your head.
Standing voiceless
Cannot speak
with my my mouth sewn shut my tongue
removed.
Turning violent
Ever silent
Once was strong but now so weak.
I felt a hush wash over me.
I fear a hush wash over me.
I fear a hate wash over me.
I fear a hate controlling me.
I fear it all. Watch over me.
Open my eyes so I can see.
I cannot see.
