Your eyes speak in silence <br />of disgust and shame <br />Piercing my thinning armor <br />slowly decaying my defenses <br /> <br />If only I could speak <br />explain my incapacities <br />Make you feel… <br />what I feel <br /> <br />A turning away <br />not wanting to understand <br />Your ignorant anger <br />breathing down on meager souls <br /> <br />Into shadows I hide <br />wistful of a life without hope <br /> Crawling in blind humility <br />looking for retribution <br /> <br />If only I could speak <br />enlighten you of a dreadful dream <br />Believing it not real <br />simply to awaken in it…alone<br /><br />Gary Scott Gebert<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/anathema/
