You hear that? No not the tears, screams, or cries, but the silence.

That's the sound of my heart breaking. 

You see, when I'm crying, you know I'm feeling pain.

But the silence lets you know you tore out my heart.

Its breaking, sinking further into my chest. 

I want to scream and cry but I can't.

So I stand and calmly take the pain.

But in my heart, there's a fire growing.

Who can heal this hurt, who can heal this pain?

Nobody.

The only one who can has seemingly put all this on me to bear. 

Don't you understand I cry, I can't do all of this!

Take me out of this pit, this mire.

Just show me my path and I'll follow it.

I listen, but hear nothing.

Not in the fire, wind, 

Oh when will my salvation come?

So I stand and wait, the silence breaking my heart.

.......As I've gone on with this, I've realized this as a section of my journal. I don't really understand WHY I do this......but I do and it makes me feel better.

This is real. This is day to day. This is what I'm dealing with each day. This isn't fake, or made up. This is real life.
