Silent Killer

Silent Killer

The luminosity in her eye has dimmed

her beaming smile- repressed.

The black chasm, erstwhile known as her heart

refused to pretend.

Relentless slurs of the prejudiced

Swindled her ability to reminisce.

Her ironically indomitable shield sundered

The persistent proliferating obiter dictum stole her thunder.

Thoughtlessly claimed it didn’t afflict her

how injudicious these words- foreign and sinister.

A silent killer seeped into her being

consumed her within- made her self catechize, believe.

She questioned her authenticity and reiterated her morals,

Hushing the chorales, heightening rambunctious quarrels.

Inevitably altered and fit the tarnished fame,

superseded a humdrum petty game.

Author's Note

I know its short, but it reflects my story in a way.

It almost reminds me of drinking way too much liquor to drown ones sorrows over losing someone? Something? Oneself? Or even deeper repression into the mind without the help of a substance. I can relate to the words, just not how they came about which of course is the point in you being the writer and having them come from within yourself. I thoroughly enjoyed the read and even though some might need a dictionary, I actually praise you for your intellect ! Well done.
