Here, In My Silence

by Nate Grey

A look into Hotaru's world.

Here, In My Silence
(Dedicated to Hotaru Tomoe)

Here, in my silence
Sits a lonely girl
In her cold, lonely world.
No more busy people
No more crowded streets
Just eternal, empty stillness.

Here, in my Silence
Lie the lifeless bodies
Of Earth's guardians.
No more will they fight
No more will they protect
Their lovely faces
Just pretty pictures
On my dark canvas.

Here, in my Silence
Lies my best and only friend
My dear, sweet baby doll.
No more will she smile at me
No more will she hug me tight
Just doomed to lie in my lap
For life has left her small frame.

Here, in my Silence
Resides Pain and Guilt
I did this to the world
I made it my playground
But in the process
I foolishly destroyed.
No more playmates for me
No more reason to go on
Just sitting here
Forever resenting my Silence.
