When all ends with a Period

When all ends with a Period

Doubt.

Listen.

Heart breathlessly swollen

sunk deep in

a pool of sour words

from your firm lips.

Red color paint

turns faint

and dry, useless

words became an

everyday litany

calling all the

black saints

from the neighboring town.

And here, with you,

when all I said were true

only a nod I saw.

I close my ears

and open eyes stare

still on the truths

and thought, when all ends

with a period,

silence creeps in.
