9th Grade

it was normal
that i didn't talk often
but not to this extent.

where had my words gone?
down
down
d o w n
the drain
with all my tears
what is there to say
when every time you open your mouth
you have the urge to cry? 

i hadn't experienced
this amount of loss
i lost tons of possibilities before
but this wasn't a possibility
it was a fact
it was and had been
until i saw him
for the last time
carved into a headstone.
