I am silent. I am stone.

I am silent.
I am stone.

Except... stone doesn't have a heart which can break.

I cut myself free.
Untethered the only thing that can be hurt- is me.
I am safe. I have no fucks to give.

A year has passed. A few months since.
I stop mid thought that has escaped my pinched parched lips:

"If there ..."

My voice stops as my ears ring with the sound I haven't heard it so long. I haven't heard my own voice in so long. My souls aches as it did when I left it all behind.

"If there is a God... he wouldn't have taken you from me."

He has no heart. HE is made of stone.
