when eventually we grew so
close, so connected
that we dissolved into each other- I started to
hear your thoughts, you grew heavy with
my feelings
and we held onto [this] so tight
navigating through this little world as a single entity-
as proud as though we ourselves had invented love
But when we became one person
my darling
we no longer had separate heads to put together
to admit
to accept
we were each only realizing
half our potential.

She's proud of herself but she won't tell you why
It has now been a month since she last even tried
But the voice don't stop but today she won
She put down her razor and put down her gun

After hours of thinking silently to herself
She goes and picks up her old friend from the shelf
Overwhelmed with emotions she picked up her blade
And disposed her evil and drops the charade

So the first time in a while her lips crack to a smile
It won't be easy but in the end it'll all be worthwhile
Her cuts will turn to scars and those scars will fade
But this makes her feel stronger she is no longer afraid

She sits there aware of the cloud of darkness has lifted
She can see a future for herself, she knows that she's gifted
With a smile on her face as she looks at her arm
She defeating the evil we know as self harm

If silence is golden,
What is noise?

If silence is golden,
What is a whisper?

If silence is golden,
Why don't we treasure it more?
