Why I Write (1)

So I won't be forgotten.
Because the truth of prison........
is so
horrifying
I'm afraid to speak
and.....
to remain silent.
Written words on a page
do not
make a sound.

to make a sound
to make a sound

because the only way to
say I love you is silence.
Words have to be felt like
pressure on the heart,
like a heavy weight
inside your chest
worse than an elephant.
Without writing I will explode

because the words are so heavy
because the words are so heavy

They leak out everywhere.
I want you to
hear me
love me

cry.

Because I want to break your heart
with silent words.

Because I want you here with me
as long as this sentence you are
reading lasts....

which is forever
