Silence by ~xandiwolf:iconxandiwolf:

Categories Literature > Poetry > Horror & Macabre > Open




They're silent ya know?
Those graves I mean
I curl up and cry in front of them
But they just stare with their granite eyes

The souls under them are restless
Especially after listening to me cry for days
To them my pain means nothing
They say "To be dead is far worse."

I guess that's true too
I cannot fully agree with those who seem wise
For what's the use of a young agile body...
When the soul's been dead so long?

I sit and stare at them so long
I feel like part of them now
My kneese are embedded in the earth
My eyes are so dry they bleed

What do I do now?
Can I continue without you?
Please help lift me from their gaze
I need you, please guide me

Peal me away from their grasp
Lift me from my grave
Show me the way to paradise
Give me wings so I can join you there

Author's Comments

This piece was inspired by judith's piece Sadness. I'm also going to be using it as a image for the poem since the poem goes with it. I in no way imaginable could ever even THINK of taking credit for this manipulation. My own artwork stinks to high heaven compared to her stuff. *shakes fist* Why do you have to be sooooo damn good Judith...*licks* Ok well the manipulation belongs to judith the poem is mine. NO TOUCHY EITHER!

Excellent work, Lex. Chilling throughout it all, uplifting at the end (to me, at least).

Man, this is good....ok, add to favorites...
