Silence

An acrostic

By angela hepworthPublished about a year ago 1 min read

s tanding alone, waiting for the clock to turn

i n me is a deep fear, a dark emptiness

l eeching into my veins, my very blood

e very time i call your name

n o answer permeates my ears

c an you hear me, I plead?

e very time, the quiet rings
