Silence That Screams

You're the scar I don't show

The ache I refuse to outgrow

The silence that screams in my soul

The fault I claim as my own

Every time I let go

Your absence, it grows

I run to the pain

Like it's the only thing I know

You have become

The war I don't leave

The lie I believe

Every time I fall onto my knees

You're the cut underneath

The habit I feed

The voice in my sleep

That never leaves

I no longer know who I am

Without the hold of this

Maybe I'm addicted

To the emptiness it brings

Oh, dear sanity

My hands are raised in prayer

Just to keep

Whatever's left of me
