Soul Conversation

I knew something was wrong
and in the silence of my soul
I wept for the feeling.
"I have to tell you something"

I feel the heart cease beating
the halt to all the smiles
like a dark cloud covering
the sunshine of my existance.

My ears hear the words that follow
somehow detached from the rest
which is frozen in shock
but the ears keep listening.

"I'm sorry"
For what? Ending a dream, a feeling
are you really sorry or is that a line
like a thank you, or pass the salt.

"I see" comes out of my mouth
I did see too, not with my eyes
my heart knew, stupid thing
knew when to love and when to die.

How does one know doom like a good friend?
Come in, I have been expecting you
please, have a seat and torture me a while...

Sorry, I should have been clever
could have said a million things
or revealed my feelings inside
but "I see" is what emerged.

Then again, hearts that shatter like that
it is a wonder there is no sound
the thunder rumbles when the sky
cracks in peals of despair.

Oh well, like the rain at night, my tears
will fall only ever invisible
while this thunder of pain is muffled
by a shell that seems all too dismal.
