I only told the moon, and in anticipation, a held breath was bartered for a response.
In typical fashion, silence was given in exchange.
Each night, tried attempts happen in vain, hoping to be spirited away through deep conversations with the queen jewel of the night sky.
Cold yet welcoming.

Haunting memories of familiar
Faces start to permeate my soul, uncontrolled, I slip deeper and into a hole.
Tournamented by history's past and the mistakes that follow, the depths of my sorrow remains shallow. I understood what was done, for my actions I no longer run from.

Unspoken and silenced are the words muffled by the wind
Subsequently, since they weren't granted permission
To leave the pages on a whim

I heard them calling out in the distance, persistent.
Their cries fell onto deaf ears, attention reared.
But still perceived as white noise against the constant clamor of chitter chatter of the passersby, without batting an eye.
My efforts deluded, I just walked by

The flutter of words
Like wings fly around my head
To land on paper
