Your Silence Makes Blood

Your silence speaks louder
To the despairing me
It makes me wonder
If you are truly happy

I see you hold back little things
I feel you become distant
If I could do anything
I would do it in an instant

You're trying to shut your feelings
Making them disappear, unimportant
But with them, our love dies
And my feelings, evilly potent

Words upon a screen
The communication to crave
Silent tears will fall one day
From eyes staring at your grave

Beating of a wounded heart
You push me away once more
Your eyes, cold as you stare
At the sobbing me, on the floor

You push me away, unknown why
My tears fall, but yours never do
Pushed away, pushed by fear
Pushed away, pushed by you

I leave you, heartbroken
I promise never to return
I say all these stupid things
I tell you to burn

In my haste to leave
I didn't see that tiny tear
I didn't hear those last words
"I love you, my dear"

Before my shadow faded
You fled for the knife
And just like that
You took away your life

I heard your silent fall
But you're your blood meets me
At the door to our room
A warning for the horror to see

You're lying on the bed
A picture of us beside you
I can't believe this is real
But the blood makes it true

My shadow had not faded
My tears had not dried
Yet, you still released pain
And now, you have died

From the eyes staring at your grave
Come tears that stain
From this cut that I now make
Comes all of our festering pain

Your silence makes blood
