Broken Poem by Fantone Mdala

"Nothing is more peaceful than a moment of silence"

Sometimes I wish those words were always true.

Ever since I broke the ice

Tension has been heating up

Like an unstable acidic volcano in a vent

Devouring every bit of joy in the atmosphere

Into its hungry bowels of hell

Leaving nothing but a wordless scene of despair

As aqua slowly leaks out of her eyeballs

As if it were a melting ice berg

A frown drawn on that doll-like face

Arousing that guilty feeling inside of me

Warning me to have never broken down the news

Wasn't it necessary to do so?
