I Am Afraid of Words

I am afraid of words

that cannot describe your dying love.

Black blood flows

in my porcelain veins.

Let's not run away from the past.

The time will come

when eternity will be reborn in us.

The wound in my heart

is teasing me,

where your forced kiss was born.

I tried to cheat the silence,

but the wave washed

a scarlet soul ashore.

Don't talk to my thoughts,

don't try to resurrect the shadow

that has been scattered

by someone's light.

Before shooting stars give way

to confused senses,

before you take your last breath,

your sky will drown in

a cage of hope.

I look outside the wall, but I know

no one is watching.

I read this many times; a beautiful show of emotions toward a dying soul, a wordless world of moods, remembering the past, but in a sense, not wanting to face the doom that is about to come….don’t talk to my thought”…. I am silent in them. There is hope in the stars.

I read that twice .. I like it, hard to move on away sometimes when we know it is for the best - the narrator has strong conviction, the words portray this.

Well done X
