Your silence breeds deathly temptations within me

On the edge of my breaths I stood looking down to words that
should have been said ..
My toes linger on the edges whilst the wind finds its way through
the spaces of my body ..

I wanted you to pull me back
Yet, you remained in silence

Narrow, became the ground below my feet;
Pulling me away from existence

My weight fell before me ..
My soul followed the long fall ..

Eight letters down ..

I counted them as I ceased to be

But even in my death, the screaming echoes of your silence lived
with me

So I kept my headstone unmarked;
You shall always have a space to engrave your deathly silence

Whenever you’re ready ..
My grave will forever remain hugging its headstone

For my soul found its patience in death
