Untitled (Poem Circa 2009)
I sit here in silence,
waiting..
for someone to speak.
The quietness of it all dries my lips,
I can't breathe.
The person next to me
feels the same way,
I can sense their discomfort
I hear voices in my head,
first a whisper
then a scream
I look around with alert in my expression
but I can't see anyone
my vision is blurred
I can't think.
I take a deep breath
and listen again
I hear
names?
responses?
questions?
why must this day always come?
why me...
