I became the silence that eats.

The silence ate at my voice.
I didn't fight back this time

I watch a black pile of smoke
 It's the same shape as “him” 
devouring what's left of my voice.

Should I fight back?
Should I scream?
Do I join him?

His voice is extracted 
join me

So I did
 
My body 
turned into black smoke.


I ate someone else's voice

It wasn't like they used it.
