Loss of sight.
Waking up to silence
by: RHens


It's like a grenade exploded beside you,
suprised.. you can't hear what these eyes view
an inside you..your inner thoughts let lies spue
as your Senses are disguised through,
the blind truth that makes fate defy proof.
rely an try fightin the facts..
I can feel the knife in my back -
I want my life to be intact, I never heard it coming
I see them..
but can't hear the buzz of the birds that are humming
I feel the vibrations..
yet I can't hear the locomotive as it' turns an its running
I taste her lips..
but can't hear the phrase that is so assured to stun me..
I smell her perfume..
so why don't my ears register the words that I'm loving..
the one's that I'm missing,
a part of me died an its my tongue that is twisting.

"I lost a common sense, I'm broke without that common cents
it left me that fateful day, an hasn't bothered since.."


Whats a life without words?
is it an action without verbs?
Is it not being sure if your making a sound?
Is it my name, if I can't be stated with a noun..
I lost that piece of me an now its neglected
can I describe my life, without an adjective..
with a flaw this gaping - how can I perfect it?

Maybe this curse is my blessing, its not as worse as I'm stressing
at first I was testing His wisdom, an how hurt it could press me..
this Quench for improving has left me with a Thirst for the next thing,
turn to the sex to get my focus off this world that's perplexed me..
this effect is sinking in,...my ears serve no purpose so lets sing,


"I lost a common sense, I'm broke without that common cents
it left me that fateful day, an hasn't bothered since.."
