Too Quiet
The Silence is strangling me,
I try to talk,
I try to scream,
But I can't.
The Silence has now moved from
My throat to my stomach,
Pounding and
Punching it.
I gasp for air
And try to speak
In an attempt to
End the Silence,
End the Suffering.
My head is throbbing from
The memories of her swirling around in my mind.
The Silence taunts me
And reminds me of other times I had with her.
I look to my mother
Pleading for her to ease my pain.
But I see she is suffering too,
Not from the Silence,
But from the Information.
She hangs up the phone
And begins to tell us,
Begins to break the Silence.
