Silent sound of death

by jessica warrick   Nov 23, 2017


I could feel the darkness all around, what awaited me still tortures me, it haunts my mind. The silent sound of death I found.
The body that night restless, confusion taking hold slowly you went you’re last breath released. Have you finally found peace at last?
I placed my hands on her face, as hot tears fell to her lifeless body, I screamed for her. I cursed the name of god as I wept on her chest hoping for her to take a breath. But it was just me, and the silent sound of death. Through the night she laid there in deaths dreadful hours, the fear she must have felt laying there alone.
The image fills my mind night after night her dying, scared, alone. My regrets, only if I paid more attention if I wasn’t so out of control. Maybe I would have seen it, maybe she didn’t have to go.
But it was just me and the silent sound of death.

    It can always be hard looking back or forward. You got a way with words that make me feel like if only I did something different but it’s just the way it had to be. Great poem it touches the soul. I always wish I could have met your mom.
