Sightless Eyes

I scream a silent imploring scream
Through the impenetrable walls of my loneliness �
And yet he hears my anguished cries 
As though I were standing next to him.

Emotion filled tears 
Silently run down my face �
And he can feel despondency they contain
From a world away.

My battle torn heart 
Beats slowly and quietly �
And he can feel it's burdensome weight
As though it were beating in his chest.

My tattered soul speaks 
In an unknown tongue of countless horrors �
And only his heart 
Can translate its meaning.

My disheartened Traveler
Brave white knight of my friendless tortured world
Protecting and guiding me onward to the light
I cannot see from sightless eyes.
