Urla Silenziose

Silent screams. He couldn’t resist. He finds nothing to hold on to. His life is being sucked out of him and he can’t do anything about it.

She looks at him with cold shot eyes. She didn’t care about his pain. She was feeling the same pain – but soon it will be over, his will remain forever. He couldn’t blink. He couldn’t understand what is happening. Soon, he will be gone but his screams could not be heard still.

It was not his fault but he couldn’t yet understand it. She made it seem like he knew all along. It was not his fault that he has been given a heartbeat. It was not his fault that he lived inside her. It was no one’s fault. Especially not his – but he has to pay for it.

He never saw this coming. He thought she would be happy with him around. As his tiny heart slowly stops beating, she knew it was over – but the guilt she would feel for the rest of her life isn’t. What she didn’t know is this: for the rest of her life, she would suffer like he did. Her conscience would eat her, maybe not now, but someday. One day when she least expects it.

She is free from the burden – for now. She threw away the one chance she could get into proving herself worthy of a responsibility. She made the decision just like that and the saying is true, “You will regret in the end.” She definitely will regret everything about him.

Silent screams. She didn’t hear it, her heart did but she didn’t care. Her heart heard it but she cares more about herself than anybody, so she didn’t bother look where it’s coming from. His silent screams didn’t last long, in fact it took her a second to hear it, but it reverberates in that room. And it continues to linger for as long as she lives – his silent screams.
