I screamed today.
A silent scream.
Nobody saw.
Nobody heard.
I clenched my fists
And breathed in deep
A silent scream
Nobody saw.
Nobody heard.
There were no words.
None to speak
None to say.
I closed my eyes
Shut them tight
My face was creased
And stretched
Muscles tense
But soundless
My silent scream
Came from the heart
From a place so deep
There are no words
I didn’t cry
I just bore down
I screamed alone
Without a sound
There is no why
Nor where and how
For what, it can’t be said
But for whom.
I screamed today.
A silent scream.
For her, that dearest one
The one who now is dead.
