Silence

November 18, 2008
By Anonymous

You sang and sing
your victories and cries.
Oh why must we
be in such a disguise?
The tears, your fears.
Running through the weary years.
To stop the noise.
To play with toys.
A constant babble
of trivial despairs.
Tearing out your very hair.
Let us go
forsake this place.
To leave behind my very disgrace.
Let us walk into the blue,
biding in silence,
to the adieus.
