wordless man with no spoken dreams how I would you shut up if I let loose the roar of screams I make walls with pound your heart until it shook free from the rusted house you ignore retreat to when you don't ever want to leave the dust and decrepit silo once I thought I could set you free with fires burning and lights blazing on in the nights when your voice rang out with honesty and patience I approached hopeful to be let past the tigers at the gate guarding your tenderness from wire prods but I am the one who needed the integrity to prevail above all the fears you carried in buckets of false starts had me living a lie that only years would reveal as the failure which maintain me as the Total Knock Out in the final round after the brass bell rang to stop the beating twenty minutes before |
