Silent Journey
The death of love, a silent execution.
No witnesses observed or walls plundered.
Comes silent with a word or act.
A crushing blow and violent crack.
The wound won't bleed, or bed require
it nestles close within the eyes.
A living corpse, like wilted flower
Moves through moments, days and hours.
A shadow falls in daylight broad.
A smile may surface as artful fraud.
No backward glance or living lie
can hide such pain or resurrect a life.
Does mercy move or kindness cry
Within a soul buried in night?
Forgiveness of a vast regret
can climb a precipice's turret.
High above the crumbling fall
It's there the wounded heals from all.

Your poetry is always beautiful!!
Thank you, dear @mariannewest. This poem was written in the center of a terrible migraine last night. I am always curious how these ramblings will be perceived because migraine poetry comes weirdly to me and sometimes I am not able to capture it.
