For as sweet as life
How amazingly silent she is
and loud too
Her laughs are extended by waves that pour into each other
a wave feeding into another
and you never notice when it fades
its like your soul slowly pulling away from your body
but she quickly catches her breath
just like all the memories
the good ones, I suppose
she holds on
If she could choose to die in this moment
She would
and the sharp pain she feels in her stomach is that of joy
She leans back holding her stomach
and just like that a moment
has just faded once again
Her laughs are as sweet as life can be
trapped in them is the joy that she has been starved of
she starves again
not knowing when her next meal will be
it passes by like a memory
but at least it was a meal
that she ate very well.
