Alone
D. Warren

I wonder if you would understand
if I told you I was hiding
within myself
private and safe.

I wonder if you would understand
how much the noise that's everywhere
penetrates too deeply
causing me pain.

I wonder if you would understand
that my silence is not towards you
but bars that surround me
leaving me mute
without words
locked in without a key.

I wonder if you could understand
the darkness, blacker then night
blacker then death
that I contain inside me
mutely
privately
I wonder.
