. the night is quiet yet .
and yet it bursts with silent screams
Gentle wind breathes through my lung
oh do you not hear me?
sweet silent skies
can you not hear my heartfelt cries?
. the night is perishable .
but it is masked by the branches above
look down through them
careful glance about
can you not feel it?
all my fear
every ounce of doubt?
. listening to the water .
its supple gargles make me scream
those rives that glisten 'neath the moon light
those gentle sparkling streams
can you not hear them
my weeping screams?
. out in the open .
fresh with dew
those gentle meadows
brisk and quaint dripping with life a-knew
can you not open your eyes
and see my hearts askew?
. the stars above .
oh how they twinkle
longing for patience
and sanity
I beg upon the stars
can you not celebrate these horrid scars?
. that breeze that takes my soul .
please no longer seek that goal
that kind breeze that soothes the mind
please no longer look for my mournful heart,
oh careful breeze
for 'neath these trees
you'll find it not.
. deep darkening skies .
that offers me the safety to heed
my heart no longer wanders
for scatter across the moonlight skies
you will find my heartfelt sighs
. bring down upon me .
oh painful rain
hide these tears of nightlong reign
carry it over the sky
my heart felt pain
. buried 'neath the meadow .
you will find the bones of 'morrow
each crack of the pure careful white
beauty so horribly fair
careful to bury the pain
swept with the sorrow there.
. lost amongst the stars .
keeping the mournful pain at bay
I swear upon this tearful night
I hide my heart in each lovely light
too creep away from my quiet fright.
. please gentle winds .
forget me now
please no longer seek this heart of glass
for each day will soon come to pass
please fateful night,
forget my heart
for quiet simply put
. it is torn apart .
