A Voice Silenced

A silence lives within me
A ghost lost in endless hollowness
Echos long ago quieted
Struggle a decaying word
Each day a single choice
Leading the heart farther into darkness
Each day a choice
But which one?
The crowd of steps taken overwhelms any clues
Cobwebs suffocate comprehension
Broken only by confusion's wails
Reason hides alone and broken
By the cacophony of possible mistakes
A single tear falls slowly
Leaving in its wake emotions unnamed
Indescribable and overwhelming
Screaming for attention and assistance
But who will listen
To a voice silenced
By an unknown, and long ago forgotten, choice?
