death by silence.

Phone ringing
empty lines
calls end with a silent
drop

Take the pill
of love and hate
and then you
die awake

Lying on the floor
senses bare
breathing comes to
a halt

Cease to die
to do it again
the death not of body
but of love

A ghoul stands
with a smile
flaunting a dangling
heart

Shattered pieces
learn to echo life
of quiet words
singing lies

Waiting
waiting
waiting
none

An unended end
is what you have
