Screaming in silence

I’m screaming in silence its deafening me

You cannot hear me yet your talking to me

I see your lips moving and the blink of your eyes

Its just a blur and a buzzing like a corpse full of flies

In this bubble of pain I cannot escape

Your smiling at me now my smile back a fake

I want to run but I’m glued to my seat

Sweating and shaking and tapping my feet

A pain in my chest and my mouth bone dry

I grin and I nod but I just want to cry

Pull yourself together I hear some say

But I’m stuck in 1982 on a cold sunny day

I’m no longer a soldier but my mind disagrees

It keeps sending me back to those terrible seas

You finish your talk and then smile and leave

Leave me back in my bubble with the dead that I grieve.
