::: Silence :::

[gnutmeg]

I don't know what to say anymore
when so many words have fallen on you like rain
and have gone by barely noticed
my mouthful of silence
seems most significant for the way
you leave me bleed
I have to ignore you
to maintain the quiet
in prayer I find no answer
your lips don't move for me
and I fear my voice must have died when I did
bury me with your sweetened tongue
all those lies you're so very good at
they could hold me in my grave
