Fragments

⤞wilderness

These fragile silences
conceal a raging war of words,
a confusion in my mind
of utterances unheard

but for in my head—
the forgotten forest of my mind—
where a myriad
of shadowed secrets
are never quite
left behind

and deep in the wilderness,
the echoing catacombs of my heart
are lost to uncertainty,
destined to fall apart.
