Words

Words of pain scream from this page
And flutter through the night
But to an ear they go unheard
In silence, as I write

Emptied from this muted pen
Onto the open pages
Forming loud, in shades blue
Over the lines, it rages

Letters spelling out the hurt
That deadens me inside
Letters carving out the inmost
Feelings that I hide

From the depths, they've broken free
Laying my conscious bare
Free for wandering eyes to see
Out in the open air

Underneath the silvery moon
The glistening stars afar
Free to sweep off from this page
And come to where you are
