Silence

Only when I speak to myself
Is when the real
Substantial conversations
Flow together
Words travel gently off my tongue
I leave myself speechless
Thoughts die horribly in my mind
I retreat to nowhere
To understand, I destroy myself
These scars are here to stay
Understand the rules
Understand
You could have taught me a lesson
In believing these lies
You would have tortured me longer
Just to watch me die
Silence is a friendly
Handshake from an old friend
Someone I confide in
When I need a hand
Silence
Doesn't exist like it used too
Silence
