Never Again

A man who destroys one woman
destroys generations.
Silence follows silence....
These footsteps you no longer walk
are not mine anymore. 
As you turn to dust in the grave 
that houses the unfulfilled carcass 
you waited your whole life to become, 
your pages yellowed and blurred reach me
without your mortal voice and I am 
illuminated.
