Silence pours out from my lips, spilling over me. It splashes me with so many memories and waking dreams.
The words unspoken saturating every article that conceals my body. All that was left unspoken, all these words caged in my mouth, they drown me.
As I shouldered the dark mantle, and walked slowly toward the light,I heard through the distance a laugh that I wondered if I would ever hear again.Something stirred within my heart. A slumbering giant. A sedated history.
And there she was wrapped in moonlight.Laughing, like we'd survived. Living, like we hadn't died. Her face aglow with an old spark, that hid itself when she'd saw me.She'd remembered to forget. And I'd begun to drown again on silence.
"I'm glad you're happy" "I think about you some times""I wish some way then, things had gone better"These, and other sounds of impropriety bubble beneath the silent waters, And so I set my foot backwards into the comfortable ambiguity of the shadows.I recoil my hand once again from the light. I return to the dangers of the darkness. I disappear from my lost loves sight.
Words are comprised of breath among the living.Expressions of soul exchanged in the air.l did not dare break the deadening silence,and speak words neither of us could bare.
