Answering machine is full.
The Phone been off the hook for a week.
I was preoccupied.
You thought i lied, could I have died?
Was it ******, or suicide?

I got your letter.
returned to sender.
The little things you don't remember.
I never got the letter
Must have been the bad weather.

The blood stamped paper
I read it state:

"Your silence is the shotgun to my head.
Without you I'd rather be dead.
That is what i feel, I'd hate to fail.
But this is real your silence is screaming.
I haven't been eating, I find this silence defeating

P.S. My scars are re opened.
P.P.S. These ones aren't healing"

They plunge into life
**** oxygen in their lungs
Cough up the water

Cold and alone-scream
Light burns their delicate eyes
Yearning for our touch

Accelerated pulse
Panic screaches from their lips
I hold my hands out

Grasp them in my arms
Press their pale pink flesh to mine
Show them they are safe

Plant them with a kiss
The storms calm inside their brains
Heartbeat to heartbeat

They flutter their lids
Comprehend and recognize
Love wholeheartedly

I am their mother
They are prefect-everything
They are my children.

Left me hanging
a slow sway
the swing screaches -
loud and long.

Rusty
worn out
..swaying..

the wind stopped
it came to a halt
motionless
alone-
A silent storm

— The End —
