Walking Away

How does one walk away..
How does one forget..
Walk away and forget..
Be numb..
Don’t look back..
There’s nothing to go back anyway..
Nothing to look forward to either..
Just stay stranded..
To survive..
To keep afloat..
Don’t tilt your head..
You are a pitcher full of fresh water tasting tears..
Press your palms close to your chest..
It will lessen the pain..
Turn your head around..
All around death abounds..
No promises of yesterday for remembering..
No vows to look forward to..
Just deathly silence..
Bear with it..
Wait..
Keep waiting..
That’s all you can do..
A hollow soul..
Behind that sunshiny smile.
