Best Poems Written by Brigitta Sadam

We never were

A Car drove past,
Radio screaming like it knew.
Bird landed on a brittle branch,
It doesn’t sing.
Wind blowing leaves,
But they don’t dance
    
Colours are fading,
Or is it blood?
Are we bleeding?
Everything is turning grey.
It’s cold – I hold my breath.
    
Where did the sun go?
Misery never left,
It watched, hushed.
Streets are empty 
The water - still
    
Windows flicker with ghosts
Glass rain. Blood smear. 
Is it all gone?
Are we alI gone?
    
    
Am I the thing behind the glass,
That won’t stop screaming?
Pretending not to see
what I’ve become.
    
Do you hear that?
Silence hisses at me:
Maybe you’re not here.
Maybe we never were.
