What Happens When

What happens when
ears are full of cotton?
What happens when
mouths are full?
What happens when
hands are touching phones?

My voice becomes
barely a whisper.
The sound I love
fades into the background.
My wrist bare
the emptiness I
once contained.

There was a glimmer
of a friendship
that could have
lasted forever.
There was a glimmer
that life could
be worth the pain.
There was a glimmer.

With me,
Darkness consumes
everything.

Our first true hug,
with it,
you were saying "goodbye".
Each promise,
"I'll keep in touch",
"I'll always be there",
gave me hope,
till I heard
the lie underneath.

Forgotten again,
the scars begin to fade.
No one noticed,
just as before.

With All My Love <3
