Whispers to Break Me

Nestled there
Forever in the darkness
Ripples words unfettered
Silence a gift for the lucky

A singularity of defiance
The inherent shadow of her soul
Haunts me so
A placebo of denial

Abashed I stand in rue
Awed in suffering
She begets my pity
Sweet nothings on her breath

She swallowed whole
All that I gave
Pills and fate
Lusty divinations

Wrapped in grace
She suffered there
A kiss for the putrid
And her corpse lies still
