listening to the silence
the silence lying in wait
across a barren sand
quiet are the children
who lie within empty coffins

tears so deep
i forget when to cry
i fear to dream
the screams
echoes falling from a new moon's
pitch black light

listening to the morning bright
blood upon my frozen fingers
in a banshee's shriek
i
to dream away a silent night

i dance a last dance
i dream a last dream
i walk on an echo
calling to me
from deep within

if only you believe
in the face you see
in the morning
in the mirror
are you the star
that falls from your dreams
of
who dares remember
the dance you danced
deep within the arms of truth
silence
where a saddened soul cares.
