Do You Hear That?

Silence

Shhhh

Do you hear that?

I can feel it on your skin.

Melancholy

Foreboding

You don’t know where to begin.

Danger in too much regret

But scars to let it show

Move on to the next target

Without the formality

Or legality

To know.

Teaches you a letter

But not the word

It goes within

Touches too much

Of your essence

But never

Your skin.
