Your silent existence

I didn’t realize you were still here,

Until few times recently 

When I felt you near

You helped me heal

My wounded soul,

Brought me back to my feet,

And let me breathe again.

For all that you do,

I’m eternally grateful.

That I came across you—

To find your guiding light

Amidst the darkness of the night.

Though you left me in the dark

A few years ago,

Your light still shines bright

In these fleeting moments,

When I find you in others—

Those who bring me joy,

Filling me with kindness,

Forgiveness,

And goodness.

You exist in silence,

deep within my heart,

Like a wish that never came true.

I dream that someday I’ll meet you

To tell you how much I miss you—

wish you were here. 

Unheard echoes of a story untold

Surrounded by a lake,

A deep, dark wave,

Cold and relentless,

Brushes my skin,

I cannot speak, nor move,

Trapped in this quiet stillness.

I hear the rustle of leaves,

Falling far beneath the trees,

Whispering secrets of a world unseen.

I should call for help,

But there’s no one on the horizon,

Just the pounding of my heart,

An alarm clock long forgotten,

Its scream unheard, 

Echoes untold,

in this hallowed world.

By the shore,

The rushing waters pull at my ankle,

Summoning me to go under,

Where silence awaits,

it resonates

With my last breath, I hesitate.

I long for sleep,

But sleep slips farther away,

Each time I close my eyes,

My mind dives deeper into darkness,

Into the void- the vast nothingness

In a restless sea of thoughts I sail,

struggling to navigate 

I hear a distant  lullaby,

Soft and soothing voice—

A melody from a faraway place,

Asking me to join the angels’ song.

Is death a sweet escape,

Or simply an endless void?

I wonder, sometimes.

I’ve fought to stay afloat,

To hold on to something,

But blood rushes to my face—

I need to speak,

Before the silence consumes me.

Who will come to save me?
