["Opposition is true friendship." - W. Blake] Involuntarily silent I fade into you. My voice goes unheard, near you I am mute. I know there's a way to make it through this, then my silence is worth, silence worth a wish. I wanted to have a look on the inside, to see if it's safe, if only for a while. Any time at day this feeling might come, any time at night it might be gone again. Staring off into space, speaking words in random. I sing, I cry, I spy, I lie, I grow, I shrink, I soar, I sink. Facedown in the spiral of shame, weak and melting, tension's building all around. A deceiving secrecy encircles and frightens me. An eye for an eye never made so blind. A stake for a spine and find the fear where love is lust. I reach out and seize to bury it back into me. Streaming through the colour of you. A cripple love is taking life. We fought in vain to shelter our souls, but failed to jump over our own shadow.
