Silence

Assemblage 23

I want you to know the thoughts

My mind contains

I want you to feel the rage

Pulse through my veins

I want you to see the anger

In my eyes

I want you to feel fear

For your own life



I want to see the tears

Fill up your eyes

I want to see you beg

And apologize

I want to walk behind you

Without a sound

I want to burn your body

To the ground



Don't let my silence

Bother you

I'm only seething

Don't misconstrue

Silence as safety

As security

There's an explosion

Inside of me



I want you to know the depths

Of my disgust

I want you to learn

The emptiness of trust

I want you to rue the day

That you were born

I want you to feel the fury

Of my storm



I want my silence to keep

You up at night

I want you to know the hatred

You incite

I want you to sit and listen

To me scathe

I want to dance upon your

Sorry grave



Don't let my silence

Bother you

I'm only seething

Don't misconstrue

Silence as safety

As security

There's an explosion

Inside of me
