Dancing in the Silence

"where did we go wrong?"

I

never thought

that we would

break,

we had a

perfect melody.

*

Now,

I have this

sadness I can’t

shake,

constantly

looking for my

lost remedy.

*

We

used to dance

in the

moonlight,

our world

was full of

dreams.

*

Now,

I wait

for us to

unite,

filling my pillow

with screams.

*

You

said we’d last forever,

you and I,

yet

now I’m just left

staring at your

soulless eyes.

*

“Where did we

go wrong?”

“When did we

fall?”

Now, I’m out here

standing

all alone.

*

Lights

were shining

bright.

Now, they

look dull.

*

I

don’t think

I’ll last the

night,

the memory of

you still knocks on

my skull.

*

I

hear your

voice in the

distance,

it fades with

the night.

*

All

that remains is

memories

and the

tears that

I fight.

*

Here

we are,

on separate

sides.

The music’s gone

and there’s no place

to hide.

*

The

world keeps spinning

but I lost my

way.

“You’ll move on,”

is all

they say.

*

Cryin’,

lyin’, it’s all I

do.

There’s emptiness

inside

me, too.

*

They

don’t know,

they

can’t see,

why did this

have to happen

to me?

*

I’m

dancing in the

silence.

*

Our

love has become

a nuisance.

*

I

think I need some

guidance.

*

So,

I’m dancing

in the

silence.

This has existed for a while; I just couldn’t make up my mind if I wanted to upload it or not, much like “Ghost in the Hallway”.

    We all make our own choices to make on what feelings we want to share with others.

  • Thank you for the poem, it was deep and very personal.

    I think sometimes the best thing you can do is let your stuff out into the world, even if you're uncertain of it! I really liked the longing, heartbreak, melancholia of this poem Luna!!
