Her Sounds of Endured Silence
Hold your ear on the verge of the moment…
Listen as her eyelashes wisp the air closing
Hear tears filling and clouding her perceptions
Hearkening out as they surge a burning roll
Give an ear to the silence ricocheting inside her
Absorb of her desolateness
Listen as she shakes uncontrollably into the night
Hear her heart fracture with each muted jolting
Listen to the caustic drivel of our undertones
Can you hear the approaching edge of razor?
Beholden to it’s resonance of steel upon skin
Listen to her life as it flows trickling away…crimson
Hear it slowly seeping from fingertips and elbows
Recalling the sound of those burning tears flowing
As twins they fall to extinguish the flame of her scourge
And we…
Only taking notice of her final breath
Can we hear her screams of misery
