the terrible noise of silence
bears more than any word
i heard your voice defy then
a million things that weren't said

they could have been though possibly
and all the possibilities
remain still floating now
slowly faint somehow 
within uncertainty

expression drifts without direction 
towards the border of our minds
lack of action might then define 
an impression of leftover affection 

this dooming nothingness arose
from nothing less than heaving flows 
of human bloom and nemesis 

whose promise is 

to keep a something breathing
