Memories And Hope - Don't

Don't speak,
Let me rest
Your words create images
And I cannot see
Nor breathe

Exhale!

Don't stand
so close to me
Your fragrance
Distracts me
from the stench around
I forget where i am
and have to start
all over again.

Inhale!

Don't laugh,
the sound echoes
and in each echo
a faint moan
I hear

Breathe!

Don't be in silence,
your silence is different
it sucks the other
silences into itself
and all that remains
is you
and your unsaid words.

Be!

Don't walk away,
the soft feet
leave marks
that i will have to stare
for eons
to erase them.

Scream!

Don't,
just don't
let
me
be
me
by myself

take away
your memories
yourself
your breath
your being
your smell
your laughs
your silences

Live!

Memories And Hope
