Code Of Silence Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Not able to speak, a wall between us of death, preventing
us from communicating our love to one another for now.

Wanting to be near you, holding onto each other, talking
and loving like we used to, yet, there seems to be a code
of silence between life and death.

There's no way I can get beyond it, no matter how I try,
feeling so saddened by this predicament, losing hope in
this life I'm living without you, my dear.
