Silence
by
Book Cover & Preview Text
She is a mastermind of heartbreak.
A constellation where each star was
a chipped piece of herself
Once, she was an infinite elegy
describing how to feel nothing at all,
a rushing river tainted with illusory goodbyes.
Maybe that is why she broke so beautifully.
she turned every piece of who she once was
into a mosaic to learn how to love again.
For centuries, the universe always whispered: those who truly love you will never leave.
I don’t believe what she says anymore.
If she wasn’t a liar, daddy, you’d still want be holding your little girl.
So why did you leave me so hurt, so lost that I can barely speak?
Why are the thoughts in my head a hurricane, but somehow still suspended in this silence?
