Silent Defeat
Matthew Henrickson PoetrySilent Defeat
Written 9/9/09!
It’s all coming back
The buried pain
Unresolved anger
The burning soul
And dissolving life
The pens run out of ink
The story of my heart
Exploding on to the page
Right through the paper.
The dark hole opening up
Trying to swallow me slowly
I’ve fought it for so long
I can’t get away
The darkness comes
The light goes black
The air runs cold
And I succumb to your attack
The only thing left is Silence
And Defeat.
