Silent pain

Pain lingers, wraps me in black veils
bushing over my body like shrouds
Covers my face and darkens my view
Sharp claws scrape my skin, drawing
blood red and bright, fresh from wounds
never healing, numbed at times in hope.

Silent screams in the sky as clouds
Cover the light that shone so bright
Tearing out the hope that fought
to remain alive, to stay so strong
But hope is disappearing, leaving
through a darkened tunnel in the night

Quiet I cover, trying to hide away
from pain that threatens to tear me
apart, ripping me to pieces alone
A tear runs silently down my cheek
no words uttered, no sound emerges
Carrying the loss of hope in silence
