Ghosty's Precious Things

Silence

By Ghost Helwig

Silence is

Most beautiful

When it’s not

Your own

And the last thing

You want

Is to be

Left alone

But darkness lives

Between the beats

That violate

The soul

And offers up

Your callousness

To penetrate

The cold

And violence lives

Inside your heart

When you

Get left behind

I’ve got to see

Inside of you

To see your

Aching mind

The reason is

That loneliness

And bitterness

Do divide

So touch my hand

Give it a hold

And you will be

Fine

For silence may be

Gold

But it isn’t

When it’s cold
