Silence

In a dark room amidst the halo of smoke Ruminating over life left so sullen, so morose Talk to that ghastly spook It calls itself silence flouting at me sans feelings sans words I cry I weep 'Please don't let me alone' As it says good-bye With the promise to return Leaves me tangled to myself Exasperated in sweat I feel a shudder run through Of the agony never felt As I try to put to death Myself, with a stroke Wish to die someday In the halo of smoke
