Silently
~I gasped for air~

Sapient for stagnant water to flow from unwanted eyes.
He could not see,
he could not hear,
each syllable a lash from his serrated tongue,
a jagged edge produced gaping tears...
A shredded heart lie whole within an acidic cauldron
as it plunged into the depths of my softened soul.


Then, he said good bye...

I never spoke a word.
