Untitled 58


Written while amidst the confusion of the normal teenage mind, I attempted to make a universal approach while still adressing a specific audience. Whether or not I have succeeded is up to you.


Silences that lay too deep within the depths of the night,
Make it difficult to sleep all right.

The same silences that had once been filled with words unsaid,
Stays an empty void that appears to be dead.

I toss and turn through the hours of darkness,
And yet find nothing that satisfies my losses.

Something that I had never wanted to feel before,
And had never wanted to feel again,
Had crept upon me like the Tiger hiding in his den.

The blank space of the page that is yet to be unfolded,
By the story that has unfortunately been left untold.

The writer has stopped writing; he’s out for a run,
And I must sit here, frozen, awaiting the return.

Until then, I shall wait for the fateful day,
When Life is breathed into my dry lungs again.
