Echo
Danica Emersleben 1991 (SA)
My tears are like ash
Burnt out, gone and long forgotten
My screams and shouts fall on death ears
An echo lost in the emptiness
My silence, thats what cuts deep
When words and actions prove futile
I know i have lost
I have nothing left
No words to form
No energy to fight
My mind racing
Yet im greeted by emptiness
Fire consumed a long time ago
No edges, no words
Hear the echo
Of my silent plea
About this poem
When you have no more words, just silence to give.
