Silent Scream

Anonymous

A silent scream will pierce the night
and shadows will confide
Another tear slides down my face
But i put on my mask and hide

I try to breathe
I cannot see
I open my eyes
To choke and to bleed

I cannot live, I will not die
I seek comfort in my blood
And when the day turns into night
Another scar becomes

A broken smile, a shattered dream
A curse beneath those eyes
Deep inside I drew the line
I believed all of your lies

Another scratch morphs to a cut
My triumph pushed away
And as I watch the crimson life
There's nothing left to do but pray
