His Darkened Silence

He prefers the silence of the darkness

He says it calms the voices in his head

It stops them from making him hurt me

but it doesn't last

It's always the quiet before the storm

And when he hits....

When it hits, it's a raging chaos

Engulfing us

I can't leave

There's no escape

We're trapped in a never ending loop

Afraid to step into the light

To attach to the darkness

And the silence swallowing us hole
