Unspoken Silence.

by Kristen   May 17, 2005


I lay on the floor, but I'm not awake
I lay on the floor, but I'm not asleep
I lay on the floor as you stand by
While he rushed me to the hospital in time,
While hours have already gone by
I'm covered,
Covered in the silence
The silence that I give
No more to hear the beginning,
Just to see the end
You walk inside
You see the knife
You see the letter,
The things inside
You see space,
Space covered up
Covered up by the silence cause you kept your mouth shut
You're not inside
you're outside cause you left
You look through the glass
You see me in a hospital bed
And you know down deep inside the truth,
The slit
The one slit on the wrist
That caused all of this
As the truth is still covered up by silence
Cause it had to be done,
And the blood that dried is still on the rug
And the things that you saw cannot be left behind
Cause you know how much pain he caused inside
And now you speak and hear only silence
The silence of me dead
Cause I slit my wrist
So I didn't have to be apart of this
This unspoken silence,
That you do not speak
Cause you let me die
Cause you shut off your mind
And let my father beat me till I cried
While you stood there and watched me die
And you saw the knife,
And the tears in my eyes
That run down my cheek,
But I'm still not satisfied
So I do it again, deeper every time
Until the blood in my veins are completely dry
And I can't cry anymore cause there is no more feeling inside
And you spoke the unspoken silence in silence
Cause you cannot be heard
And as I look at you for the last time
As I fall on the rug,
And the knife on the ground
And the letter in my hand that my father had found
As he beat me for the last time
Cause they pulled the plug
While you were still looking through the glass
And now you look out onto my grave
Where my body is with no fear,
But the unspoken words are still inside,
Cause you cannot be heard.
