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.
