Heartburnt - Scream Silence

Seventy-nine days since

you pushed away my hand

autumnal fires fading

and muttered words, so sad

Never one to face it

the petals wilt alone

seventy-nine days since

the ghost of a life did call

Memories surround me

'eternally yours' you wrote

the night that the harbour held us

less than a year ago

From the slums to the grandest mansions

I cannot find my place

stunned, I can only wonder

what proved my grave mistake

The street signs cold and distant

the skyline no longer ours

seventy-nine days since

I counted up, not down

Heartburnt

just as you made me

disturbed

but you could save me

and possibly make me return

you know I’m waiting

Hearburnt

won’t somebody save me

or self medicate me

please someone awake me

this I yearn

Please somebody crave me

…this I yearn
