Dark Silence
by Dan Peeper


To you I would surrender
And take down the wall
Pour out my heart
Just to see if it would fall

It seems no greater a distance
Have I found to suffice
To hinder this feeling
I harbor to entice

The restless excitement
Perils of indecision
Trapped beneath the layers
Together forming my prison

Hidden by walls of words
Bound by bars of sight
All that come to life
When concealed by the night

I die to speak
To finally reach out
To let her know
I can't do without

These secrets of sort
I must keep to me
For those who don't know
That's all that they see
