She

The emotions were at present, words were not. Her throat was filled with the words she didn't have the courage to utter. Her mere existence was crashed into pieces. Her thoughts were clouded and her heart ached. She stopped existing next to him. Her body was there but she wasn't. He walked away. She had long left before him,

Fallen in Life

I have fallen in life. My mind seems to be covered by clouds. I can neither read my mind nor reach my heart. And the words? They just don't come either.
I've fallen in life and continue to fall.

What Words to Utter?

His voice on the other side of the line was fragile. I didn't know what words to utter...What would comfort a man who was taking his steps slowly to his death?

Long breaks during our conversation signified emptiness. An emptiness he was filling by his presence in this world. An emptiness which may not be filled by him soon.

At the edge of his life, he was tired. His words trembled. A sob in his throat ached. Knowing the bitter fact that this may be his very last day, he bit good-bye to his niece in silence.

What words would comfort a man who may die tomorrow?

Your Name

Everything faded into mist.
I prefered not to give you a name, for all the names were forgotten in my world. This was an attempt not to lose you, but this also failed like any other meanings. Before the sunrise, at the dawn, you were gone. Your name remained in my memory though. Each time I recalled it, it rosed a tortured sob in my throat. I wanted to cry. But I couldn't.

Pondering on Death

Only when we get older, we realize that today can be our very last day alive. I don't think I'm afraid of getting older, the only thing that scares me about death is the loss a familiar and the unavoidable feeling of emptiness. An emptiness that can never be filled. An emptiness hurts you forever. The worst part is that a person dies only once, but you die with him/her several times a day.

You

I feel your presence in your absence.
I see my blindness, hear my deafness
and I understand why you were so heartless.

Death

The land was swimming by under my feet. I was floating aimlessly. My conscience was open, I just couldn't know why I was here, floating, and thinking of you.

Living now just wouldn't matter, so would thinking of you.

I took my last breath and sank in peace.
