Silent Scream

My chest aches
My stomach clenches
My throat swells shut
And my scream echoes in my head
Eyes that burn and itch
A heart throbbing for its make
A head that pounds
As the scream bounces off its prison walls
The aching heart fuels the volume
The closing throat locks it away
And the burning eyes
Keep it from breaking free
Ragged breaths that feel like shards of glass
Piercing starving lungs
Fighting the battle to keep
The Silent Scream
Locked away in the prison that is my mind
This is the battle I fight
As I wait for the day
When I'm with my love once more
Until that day
The battle rages on with the
Silent Scream
