What's left of you slowly dying, that's all. Did you think you'd go quietly?
No...
That dull roar that has become elevator music to your life ( gets so loud when it's quiet),is all that remains of your voice.
Of the you that could've been.
Though you hide it, tongue won't be still; jaws ache to move. Lips pursed ( careful now someone might notice) .
The ideas, kind words. Sweet nothings in your lover's ear. The voices of your boundaries.
All of those things you would've said.
New faces become a blur. Those that you dare make eye contact with , lest they know your secret, unnoticed.
Then lock eyes with an unknown face. And you know.
The friend . Business partner. Lover, hell maybe your One.
Those are the people you should've met.
You never really dies. but its so lonely in the dark. In the silence, no one new to talk to.
No smiles ,laughter on which to feed.
After a while, even the cool kiss of tears dry up
Barely a whisper now....
