Shadow of Silence
Author's Note: I wrote this at the age of 13 when my mother died


Deepen Sorrow
Consume the soul
When a tragedy corrupted
Essence of tears
Flows on her cold face
Denying what we had is gone
There's nothing but,
The Shadow of Silence

Tonight I need you
One last wish
Till the night sleeps
And day awaken
Nightmares surround me
Like a four corner wall
Then I become
Breathless
To my fears
Shadow of Silence
Has become myself
And I surrender to it.
