Posthumous Silence

In the quietness of his silent walls

Frail and sunken drops her pages down

While the sorrow like a moral guilt falls due

He released her, but she'll mourn for sure.

In the deepness of his apathetic dream

How to notice – also his world turned

As the places that once told her life do wane

Darkened spaces – only dust remains ...

Lost and forgotten at the dawn of the night

Naked of people and naked of light

We failed to notice to show her we tried

To keep her from falling, to safe this sole child ...
