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...?
