S: Silence #NaPoWriMo

How can I be silent,

How can silence fill my howl

The tears I do not cry

The grief

I wear like a cowl

 

That I borrowed from you

As you lay dying

The words I left unsaid

My truths

Exposed and cloying

 

Patterns upon the bed

Where I watched over you

As you fought to live

My thoughts

Unheard, untouched, untrue

 

How can I not be silent

No words to share or give

How can then my silence

Give you

Cause to grieve?

    Heart of stone carved from frozen magma before the earth spun solid. Teardrops rest on the intersection of each eight-legged super highway and shake the web of electrical synapses with each release into a dark unknown.
