Enjoy the silence
While it lasts-
The screaming will start
Just a minute too fast.
When it reaches your ears
It will burn you alive.
It will haunt you forever
And cling to your mind.
It is hard to forget
The sound of one dying-
The postmortem screaming
And the last hopeless sighing.
The fear that it feeds you
Is so unforgiving
It will change your perspective
Of both death and living.
Author notes
Enjoy the silence
While it lasts-
The screaming will start
Just a minute too fast.
