A Silent Death

 

"A Silent Death"

~ ~ ~

I have led an average life

Never wanted much

Maybe once

Someone's touch

~

I have not held a child

While it was sick or dying

I have felt remorse

Spent many nights crying

~

There are many who could point

Point at me and say

You have never had loss

Not in that way

~

That so many experience loss

Lively-hood or limbs

For me it all comes back

To then

~

Something must have killed it

Like a zombie walking away

I remember a silent death

As he had nothing to say

.
