Remnants

An evocative poem about suffering, by Amita, exclusively for Different Truths.

The remnants of my silence
Hung on the words
Heart-felt, held, weighed
On my tongue heavy –
Unuttered.
 
Like the remnants of my tears
Dried on my cheeks –
Heart-wrenched, drenched,
Taste on my lips salty –
Unwiped.
 
The remnants of my hope
Breathe out with my sigh –
Escape from my soul –
Unheld
