Land where you linger.

Parks, shops, our home, where we once slept.

You’re no longer here.

Left to rest back there.

In the room where our son came.

I can not move on....

Cries in an empty room

No one answers the weeping.

I feel too alone.

Sharp tones and frayed nerves.

I lash out at them in pain.

She withdraws confused.

Sat apart ignored.

Too much said without a word.

Tension grows in quiet....

Panting. Hunted.

Its gaining. Fear.

A blaring alarm.

Covered in blankets. Warm.

Light peaking through curtains. Onto their skin.

Peace....
