.Speak Not.

Speak not.
I might as well not speak.

For my words rise up

In the air and
 
Fall to the ground;
 
Untouched.

No one tilts their head

To listen.

No one dives to catch them.

They just fall;

Silent and remain still.

Like I.

The hurt builds up in my throat.

Choking me ever so silently.

Like my words.

Like my existence.

Silence is like nothing.

But it can be the worse thing you encounter.

Or you may not even notice it..

If you’re lucky.

Speak not.

I shall speak not.

I shall fall like my words
 
And remain still.

Still.

Cold.

Silent.

Speak not.

I will speak not.
