Silenced
Last I remember is
The silence, and my oafish gratitude
To finally be rid
Of the lost-battle-struggle,
Echoing deafening
Screams and hollers within
My rib cage, until weakened
Animalistic groans
Screeched, so, scratched at my sternum in
Lock-jawed
Lamentations of a voice
Too hoarse to cry out;
The excruciation of my core
Cramped up to a leaden ball
Til its last whimper, and, so,
Its pitiful death,
Much anticipated… then…
The relief of silence, and
Riddance of pain has made
Place for
Grief, since.
What hurts no more, has turned
Unfeeling; dead, rigor mortis post
Tetanus,
So, your departure
Has infected my heart.
I never guessed this silence
Would not turn song, again,
And
Even though
I am partial to believe in miracles,
I know my heart, and as far as I can
Remember, it will not
Come
Alive, again.
Of this I am
Certain.

Scatter my atoms across the universe, and still, they would know your name.

Of lost chances, forbidden love and remorse.
It's better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all.
