feeling for a soul who lost all its will,
they crack open the shell awaiting
for the body to quiver in fear.

Hunting alone it tracks down the unknowing
hoping to tear them up and leave them to die.
Silence is in me trapping my soul,
it breaths down my neck,
smiling in triumph.

I run in circles hoping i can win,
but it brings only the cuts i love
in the darkness of the night.
Blood drips down soaking in the cloth,
and silence appears to lick it all up,
leaving me my salty tears.

SIlence hunts for me when i curl up in a ball,
it crawls like the shadows unknown,
feeling for my soul who cries all alone.

Your poem touched my heart with its emotion, rawness and cry.

Please know that this is the best place in the world to surround yourself with all of us. You are not alone, we are all here with you.

I wish I could give you a hug. ((Huggers))

Should have said unknown again in the second stanza. My only gripe.
I liked it. I like the idea behind it.
It was a very good vent.
Somewhat mysterious as you didn't fully elude to what was chasing but...
You left it open to the idea of pain.
Sorrow.
I can relate to this and I think it was a wonderful write.
Hope things get better and can't wait to see the next one.
