(It's)Beginning to End
by Heide McAlister-BatesMy silence screams louder
than any words I could ever utter.
I sit and nod and smile -
you carry on, oblivious to my despair.
There seems to be a piece missing
from my jigsaw puzzle.
I'm not sure if it's a bit of the sky
or a bit of the lake.
I only know that it is blue.
Its coldness pervades my very being.
It drowns me in its damp chill
or
makes me feel insignificant in its vastness.
My lungs are close to bursting.
I scream as I fall.
You sit and nod and smile. 03/28/2005 Author's Note: No comment.
