Grief

Sometimes….

I can’t breathe and the grey seeps in,

Like the ashen pallor of a corpse. My resolve just as lifeless.

Empty and desolate. Colorless. Languishing in the pandemonium of

Numbness. Except for the

Cacophonous uproar of silence. The quiet, it...it's….

Ear-splitting

About the Creator

MELISSA BAILEY

I've always found calmness in writing. I'm a quintessential Pisces, I feel everything and writing helps keep me grounded. As such, I write mostly poetry, but I'm spreading my wings and trying my hand at some short stories.
