my throat is sore
raw from screaming to a god
one who isnt listening
he sits in silence
behind the veil of indifference
is it me?
or is it the heavens—
apathetic, absent, or unreal?
the weight of unanswered questions
rests heavy on my chest
as I wait for a whisper
a sign
a reason to keep believing
but the silence is deafening
so i scream again
until the ache in my throat
matches the ache in my soul
xx
