You did not kill me

But I will be silent.

No breath will pass through my lungs,

No soul within my dark brown eyes.

No beat or throb in the once pumping heart.

Everything drowns into the silence.

I have not forgotten —

The choice you made

For me to remain silent;

So I shall, and so I will

Rotting in the walls of death.

The body is still

But I scream —

The scream is silent.
