The Edge of Silence

Falling leaves, the night is thin

I walk alone where shadows begin

The wind whispers names I can’t recall

Every life I failed still haunts me all

Eyes like still water, hiding the fire

Burdened with guilt I can’t retire

I speak in actions, not in words

My heart’s a storm that’s barely heard

The river waits, it knows my pain

It doesn’t judge, it doesn’t complain

I move like frost, cold and precise

A lonely path, a silent slice

I’m not cruel, I’m not blind

I just leave the past behind

Every swing, every step I take

Is a promise that I’ll never break

The moon reflects a life I lost

Memories frozen, counting the cost

I don’t ask for mercy, I don’t forgive

I walk this path as long as I live

I’m not a hero, I’m not a ghost

Just a shadow you need the most

I keep my distance, I keep my vow

Even if I’m broken, I’ll make it somehow

The night falls heavy, the cold bites deep

I don’t rest, I don’t sleep

I carry the weight, I bear the sin

I fight the darkness I keep within

Silence is my sword, my shield, my friend

A lonely journey with no end

I vanish like mist, leave only scars

A quiet soul beneath the stars.

On the edge of silence.
