Finality

A shadow, a darkness
A breath, a choking
A silence, a thickness
A cry, a hiss
A strangled sound
A laugh, a cackle
Hate and pain abound
A heart, so still
So broken, so cold
Shattered, in pieces
A delicate soul
A window, a breeze
A door, a light
Aching, a throb
A loneliness, so deep
A task, a challenge
The silence will creep
A child, a parent
A dead body, a lost heart.
