Silently Broken

She’s just drifting, almost a golden myth

Her entity is shattered and falling at her feet.

Her bleeding lips cannot shake; she’s given up every breath

So she no longer has to speak.

Her chest is empty of longing and faith

The giving up is always harder than the living result.

Oh, this angel believes this world would be much better without her

Without her fractured smile or fault.

She knows love as only a gash in her heart

A terminal abrasion, her personal genocide.

For if the beat continues, surely her being

Is the slowest form of homicide?

Her remaining soul sings for freedom, she longs to turn her back

How she’d love to live without the tension and endless doubt.

But this is her numbness, it freezes the pain inside

It’s the only thing she can’t live without.

Her ashen lace against a midnight veil

If only she could stand from her pool of drowning and walk again.

But she’s grown accustomed to the tempest, cool hands of sorrow

She cannot leave the fading rain.

Her every whisper is repugnance against herself

The turmoil of her survival has begun to take its toll.

She wants in the snow for a dubious miracle

Like a colourless, abhorrent doll.

She’s shaking inside; why can’t they hear her screaming?

Why can’t they understand the downpour in her heart?

Misery is her only friend, they go hand in hand

Though she hates it, she can’t exist apart.

She’s the falling fairytale, the snow white sadness

The marble dedication to an eternal fatal laceration.

She’s a fable; an angel with ruby tears

Fighting for her own assassination.

And she’s sobbing, why can’t we hear her sobbing?

We can see her stinging emerald eyes, her permanent soaking.

But her lips refuse to tremble; she will never be perceived

Winter Seraph, silently broken.
