Silent Shouting

Always resigned, I never mind
Can't let go, what will I find?

I will remain, you will go on
A presence here has now gone

I wince, tears well
I cry, whispered yell

Cut up and bruised
You must be amused

Slapped by wind and waves
Making time for delays

Sucked in from seduction
Biggest part of my destruction

Am I hurt? not anymore
The ocean calls,  such a lure
I close my eyes, I feel the breeze
Near a cliff, on my knees

Silently shouting with the tide
As I shout, the current dies
Needing this peace close to my ocean
it's rythmic noise, such a potion

I close my eyes, i don't want to move
I don't want to think, what do I do?
The current flows, time passes by
Letting it out with just a sigh

I stand up, not wanting to go
how much more pain, I don't want to know...
I close my eyes, I'll stay a bit longer
Can't I stay and continue to wander?
