Roaring Pillow

The silence of emptiness is 
deafening, it roars from my 
pillow. Though eyes wide
open I fail to see, for in 
darkness there are no names, 
only the flickering of my 
mistakes. So with ease I 
caress this mortal wound, 
borne of futures knife, for 
I am undeserved. Only the
feeling of loss lingers this
moonless soul.
