silence

unspoken
words,thoughts floating in our heads
barely touching our lips
but it stays
inside us
unspoken reverie
pretension
is our salvation
masking uncertainty
covering loneliness
chaining our desires
despair
we all stand behind a line
unwilling to speak
unwilling to cross
the truth
that has been killing us
tearing us apart
we bleed in our silence
silent words slicing in our hearts
we bleed inside
and slowly we slip away
