Your eyes speak in silence
of disgust and shame
Piercing my thinning armor
slowly decaying my defenses
If only I could speak
explain my incapacities
Make you feel…
what I feel
A turning away
not wanting to understand
Your ignorant anger
breathing down on meager souls
Into shadows I hide
wistful of a life without hope
Crawling in blind humility
looking for retribution
If only I could speak
enlighten you of a dreadful dream
Believing it not real
simply to awaken in it…alone
