Silence

The imagined are unimaginable

The thought streams harsh and fear is cold

To love; to care; to focus; to want

yet be separate - be closed

for the greater good?

Recoil from pain - still open

Silent and unwanting - *door slam*

Silence ...

Silence ...

Silence ...

This silence is louder than I have ever known

and I cannot block it from my ears

Nor cease to wonder

Which of my sins was so awful

that it created this ...?
