Don't say it out loud,
You can only whisper,
Such words would shake,
Our world with fear.
Don't say it out loud,
Though in a distance,
The shivering, humming mouths,
Say it in a prayer,
Before they go to sleep.
Don't say it out loud,
Let it remain unknown,
To the ear,
Though in the soul
It's carved, with a million spears.
Don't say it out loud,
Maybe in a hundred years,
There will come an infant,
Who won't feel its fear.
Don't say it out loud,
Just let it flow,
An afterthought,
Before we close our eyes,
Eternally.
Don't say it out loud,
Just sigh it to the void,
From a heavy heart
That wishes it all away.
Don't say it out loud,
And maybe soon,
As time passes by
Singing it's sorrowful rhyme,
We will forget, forgive
And learn to heal.
N.H.
