About the Poem
I lay awake one night thinking about what people may go through when their time on Earth has finally elapsed. For these, I pity.
Silence |
| by Angie Cooper |
| As darkness nears I feel the bitter air Invade my lungs. My breathing labors As the night's chill Sucks the life out of me. Slowly, I drift away Light-headedness fills my soul My every move a mechanical dream. I am fading fast Fading into a world of blackness A world of death. Haunting laughter echoes in my ears Ringing louder, louder still I cover my ears - the pain too intense. I let out a scream, Panicked and shrill, But the silence engulfed in and nobody heard. |
