Tombstones cover the eerie silence
Of an unkept graveyard
But silence doesn?t linger long
Instead is overwhelmed with grief-stricken families
Unknown to it is the secret that comes with them
Hallowed upon the deep gash within its ground
Another comes to join them
To make the wounds disappear
And one by one it feeds
And one by one they join him
Among all that is unloving
In the cemetery is where
Unspoken words are buried
Only to be spoken without the feeling of confinement
