Silence an unbearable
noise in the heart
Alone crowded with
interminable memories

Regret shrouded in
indiscernible innocence
Anger smothered in
unrequited love

Injustice satisfied
with ruthless forgiveness
Justice held in the hands
of the unforgivable

Life permeated with
the edgy fear of death
Death sweetly scented
with cloying promises
