with silence

breaking my words
into p i e c e s (or the lack of)
you began to ask “why”
-you were doing so well
to forget
everything

i do not speak but instead
express (written words ink
they cannot portray
a feeling/emotion/memory/... me)

you are after all, human
so pray and pray
no more pain
-you do not want the truth

my sweet (no more) and then
i believe you know

i will not stand to be
f o r g o t t e n
so, answering “why”-

with silence.
