"I think I'll try defying gravity"

Silent screams inside my head,
they hush my smiles oppressively.
A black notebook beside my bed,
I write of thoughts depressing me.
Thinking back on things you'd said,
your love was passionately threatening.
A love once cherished, now is dead,
no faith, no hope, no questioning.
