Silent Scream

Silent Scream

Once as close as sisters
We weathered storms together
But pain and loss took over
You shut me out forever

The words we spoke so easily
Now locked inside your head
I try to make you speak them
But you turn from me instead

I yearn to have you need me
to reach for me again
And break these walls of silence
Instead you just pretend

We live like polite strangers
As the distance slowly grows
No longer can I help you
Though your sorrow truly shows

How long can you ignore your pain
and excuse your lack of care
How long your feelings locked away
'Till they're no longer there

We never choose to speak of pain
We just smile as life goes on
And speak of daily nothings
We just try to get along

Our friendship lost forever
I must walk away
But I'll always cherish
The words we used to say


For Daisy. I miss you.
