Unspoken

When all seemed to wither away,

And the light seemed to be fading, to my dismay,

When tears seemed to freeze inside of me

Long gone were the days I pranced around in glee,

When all that was left was not going right,

The monsters in my head causing chaos at night,

 I felt your presence next to me and thought it was absurd,

But your silence spoke a thousand words.

When I saw the last leaf turn brown and fall,

The weight of my thoughts holding me back against the wall,

When the last strand of hope I was holding on to so desperately,

Was slipping through my fingers, cutting through and bleeding wildly,

When the glue that held a smile to my face,

Seemed to be giving away at a faster pace,

I felt your hands on mine and I thought it was absurd,

But your silence spoke a thousand words.

When the line between life and a nightmare was turning into a haze,

In the quiet of the darkness, I’m stuck in an endless maze,

When the fire raging inside of me, threatens to consume me whole,

I find the blazing light in my soul, the color of amber coal,

When amidst the stinging burn, I stood and watched the smoke clear in flashes,

Like a golden phoenix, my will seemed to be rising from the ashes,

I felt you touch my heart and thought it was absurd,

And even then, your silence spoke a thousand words.
