Silence Over Lies

Stillness washes over me, looking at the stars.

I crane my neck, I lift my ears, so I can try to hear the moon.

Lovely little whispers used to follow me about.

Echoes have no place here now, I miss the way they'd sound.

Nothing really bothers me now, even though I sit alone.

Counting every star is a better use of my time.

Ever since I realized that you were willing to lie.

About the Creator

Autumn Stew

Words for the ones who survived the fire and stayed to name the ashes.

Where grief becomes ritual and language becomes light.

Survival is just the beginning.
