indiscretion

Fri, 08/16/2013 - 00:10 -- Vix682

i sit still waiting

waiting for the hush tones

tones that are never far

 

they begin their chatter

chatter i try to mimic

mimicking through pained action

 

a clamor so loud i ache

ache for the silence

silence that never comes

 

the Hush tones cause me pain

pain of my own indiscretion

 

indiscretion that gave me voice

indiscretion that gave me stories

indiscretion i dont regret

indiscretion that lead me to write

 

ineraseable upon my flesh, scars

scars so loud they speak

but speaking with the written word i overpower

 

hush tones fade and dissipate

Words stronger than ever

evermore i ink my story

 

i dont wait
