**Silence Afar**
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
I Gazed beyond the distant, endless.
|
||
|
||
Pointless,that infinite dragged-on railway, slowly rusting away.
|
||
|
||
I lay my head on the ice-cold steel, letting it slowly freeze my body, mind and soul.
|
||
|
||
Quiet, calming, as the chaos in my head grew.
|
||
|
||
The sound of nothing is one that’s most deadly.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
I gently fell asleep, restless.
|
||
|
||
Exposed and vulnerable, a prey waiting to be devoured.
|
||
|
||
Steadily amplifying in the background, a hint of Roughness, irregularly roaring.
|
||
|
||
Soon the sharp, no resonant sound of cold metal striking.
|
||
|
||
The clink and clanks of the mechanical parts.
|
||
|
||
Dragging of chains, smell of burning charcoal, piercing ring of bells.
|
||
|
||
Ripping me apart.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
Sweet dreams, long-promised silence. |
