Shattered Silence

by LostForWords   Mar 1, 2013


You left me that morning and
so much was left unsaid. Who
knew it would be our last goodbye.
I never thought I'd comprehend
the loss of another.

The same day I got the news.
Nothing can prepare you
for what comes next.
'Son...your brother has...died'.
Everything becomes surreal.

A selfish act took you from me.
They say over time, the pain
will heal. But my heart is
still crying tears.

My soul is dark and troubled.
Lying awake I feel I'm in a
State of insomnia. Sleep
seems like a luxury
and time feels dilated.

Deep in my mind the thought
Of taking my life would be
the way to end my pain.
Consumed by burning anger.

I alienate myself from the
world to make it easier on
myself. Yet the pain seems to
follow me wherever I go, forever
a victim of a shattered silence.

    Wow, this is heartbreaking and such a touching piece, I don't know what to say, I am sorry for your loss and in time it won't hurt as bad as it does now and I know it feels as if you can make it all go away by ending your own life, but that's not the answer and I think you know that... and I hope that by writing this piece and sharing your pain with us that it will help you, even if in the smallest way... baby steps, one day at a time, keep writing, keep expressing...

    Wow, this is so powerful and just worded very well. It tells a story of loss and how the outcome has affected your life and your emotions. When suicide is looking better than life, we can clearly imagine how strong the pain is.

    You have taken a simple moment in time, an event of loss that we can all relate to, then you have worded it in a way that really reaches out and touches the reader.

    My only thing i don't like ( just my opinion ) is the layout, I just prefer a poem to be more spaced out into stanza's but that is just my opinion as I often am attracted to poetry through the shape or the look of it before I read the words.

    Well done on an emotional write. Very eye catching title too!
