The Woman Within

Within the silence there are only screams
These sounds come not from within my dreams
They bellow with a deafening screech
But yet they are not within others reach

They can not hear what echos within
The deepest reaches of my mind therein
A voice which cries and is in pain
Is one of stress and great disdain

The cries are one and all the same
From deep within I hear her name
She wishes to be brought to light
Her life lies fettered and betrothed unto night

For years I did not heed her calls
It echoed in those cavernous walls
The chasm I dug within my mind
I buried her therein for so much time

Her sadness is heard in mourningful wails
From within my soul they do doth hail
I cannot answer her call I fear
For I shall lose what I hold dear

I look in towards her and can clearly see
That she is there looking back at me
I gaze upon her reflection clear
She looks backs at me and sheds a tear

I know this woman that I doth see
From her prison cell she smiles unto me
She no longer screams and tells me why
Imploring that she can no longer live a lie

I ask her what is it that I may do
To help her be both alive and true
To both herself and unto me
What can I do to set her free?

What I then hear her utter so clear
Her answer has me shudder in fear
Her words unspoken were oh so true
"For you to free me, I must be you"
