Speechless

You call my name but all you hear

is an echo of emptiness.

You knock on the ajar door, but

no one opens it.

You no longer remember which angel

deprived you of your soul,

which God punished for a sin

you did not commit.

The stars fall off

the black shroud of night,

the moon tactfully turns its face away.

My thoughts are speechless,

your loneliness no longer seeks

understanding.

You keep pretending that life is a road

to nowhere, the side of the road

where your best friend

stands every night.

Share with me the pain

that will ease my ugly smile.

When dusk falls, we will be reborn

with the brightest star,

with a submissive sleep.
