A torrent ricochets, an unnecessary retaliation against the undisclosed.
Believing shards to be held within your skull,
Yet they pierce others relentlessly.
Bonds broken by burdens borne,
Those kept together now distant fragments.
Their selflessness dejectedly turns to auto-infliction
Until a void remains; helpless
Broken glass; a reflection unrecognizable
Loneliness fills the gaps between shattered thoughts within,
A sonorous silence unwittingly seizing a life once sound.
