Silent Cries (Home)

Lingered sadness traced our walls
We had to escape the silence when cries haunted
Blasted music to drown out our own echoed voices
We tried to make a home, our home without coexisting properly
We both died a little daily in our private cries and moments of silence
Reaching out for help from others and not one another
Without speaking a word
We broke the bonds of communication
Made selfish decisions
And found ourselves more disconnected from our love than ever before...
Our hearts kept beating for one another but lost connection when we decided to lean on others

Lingered sadness traced our walls
We had to escape the silence when cries haunted
Blasted music to drown out our own echoed voices
And I can still see our tears stained on the walls
We walked away from our home more broken than when we moved in...
Now that we own no home, we are finding our souls again
The connection from way back when is seeping in through the cracks
We are opening our mouths before running for cover
Standing up for our beliefs before folding...
We're walking together instead of one leading another...
We are finding that our home could never have been complete without us within it
We were there but only breathing...
We'd died once we got inside
Pale white walls and an orange sofa that represented neither of us...
We didn't create our home together
So home it could have never been...

We know now
What we didn't know before
Our home starts within us
Our will to forgive, change, support & practice selflessness
We know now that without using the voices within us that once made us so strong, we can easily fall apart


Lingered sadness traced our walls
We had to escape the silence when cries haunted
Blasted music to drown out our own echoed voices
Now that we are free from our own demise and stepping out into the changes we feared most
We know now, for us to have a home, it starts with US...
