Songs of the Sealed Silence
I lock my sorrow in a vault so deep,
Where silence guards the secrets that I keep.
Days pass, the world goes on outside,
While I bury all the tears I’ve yet to cry.

But then, a song slips through the cracks,
A melody that pulls me sharply back.
The notes, familiar, twist the key,
Unlocking the past, setting the darkness free.

Flashes come, they blind my sight,
Moments I’d hidden now take flight.
A storm of memories, raw and wild,
Spins through my mind, untamed, defiled.

And as the echoes fade away,
The world goes numb, the light turns gray.
I’m trapped inside that endless reel,
A prisoner to the pain I thought I’d sealed.
