Silence

The silence once ached

as the loneliness 

seeped into my bones. 


I used to wonder 

if I was already 

a corpse at thirteen. 


So I asked the ceiling

and the silence echoed 

like a ghost in my ears. 


I screamed until it hurt

an endless cry

into a quiet void. 


The walls never answered

but they let me 

scream until nothing was left. 


When I was left 

alone with silence again

all I could hear was myself.
