And Silence Still Remains

Eyes in silence Eyes in the dark A life in patience To survive and surrender Whatever I feel Whatever I see is just A sign of hope A reflection of my memories Words covered with dust In a book to my left An urge to read No permission Helpless eyes Voices fading I regret I regret I tilt my head I close my eyes Voice - louder Temptation rising I shiver I'm a stranger in my own skin I'll survive But for how long? And silence still remains Whatever my belief and identity will offer I can never purify my thoughts And still I linger in temptation Still not daring to reach out The book My dreams Written out in words that I can't read My fingers write What my mind is not capable to think of And silence still remains I'm a stranger in my own skin But I'll survive My fingers write What my mind is not capable to think of But I'll survive But for how long...?
